call after some students were hurt doing cheerleader-type stunts. finally, the ugly delaware governor jack markell apologizing after his twitter account sent out this photo. it was supposed to show him at an elementary school event but doesn't. it was quickly deleted and the governor saying that he wished it was a cat video instead. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. >> happy friday! good morning. it is friday, september 5th, 2014. a fox news alert. meat. one of america's most wanted. the son of an american doctor raised in boston, educated at one of our top schools in the nation. now he's working for isis and leading the terror army social media campaign. what we are learning about him this morning will shock you. and the department of state, folks, not only is tough on isis, but they are tough on bill o'reilly? >> i think that when the anchor
3:01 am
of a leading cable news show uses, quite frankly, sexist, personally offensive language, that i actually don't think they would ever use about a man -- >> well, you're wrong about that. he does use the same language for everybody. we're going to play the tape behind the story, coming up. >> just ask me, i love cooking souffles. and she called wisconsin governor scott walker a wife abuser. this hour, the governor's right-hand woman here with a message for debbie was yserman schultz. "fox & friends" starts now. >> announcer: it's time for "fox & friends"! [ rooster crowing ] and it's a friday, and welcome to the program. and we start with a fox news alert you'll want to know about. u.s. air strikes have taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader abu al baghdadi. he was killed in the terrorist
3:02 am
strong hold of mosul. >> wow, many speculating that the president got his news when the secretary of state, john kerry, passed this note to him during nato meetings in wales yesterday. >> that's right. and this morning there's a new target. the fbi now hunting this guy, a tech-savvy american from boston believed to be the mastermind behind isis's brutal social media blitz. elizabeth is live in washington. what more do we know about this guy? >> reporter: officials here reportedly zeroing in on this american. he's been on the run from americans for years. ahmed abu al samarra. he's suspected of being behind their social media blitz that they've been so advanced at, including gruesome youtube videos and twitter propaganda posts. he grew up, graduated from college in boston, even making the dean's list in undergrad, reportedly traveling back to the middle east back in 2004 where he worked essentially on media outreach for al qaeda in iraq.
3:03 am
this is the kind of person that law enforcement has been very concerned about. >> he's somebody who knows the english language, somebody who is obviously taken into the jihad crusade. he's going to use those skills, the language skills and social media skills that he probably developed here in the united states, to try and do what isis is doing. they're trying to recruit from within. >> reporter: well, there's still more evidence needed to confirm the suspicions. many experts say he has all the tools he needs to be an effective asset at spreading global terror. >> he speaks fluent english and arabic, so he's able to communicate these on social media forums and get this message out from isis to americans and other westerners, making him extremely dangerous. >> reporter: the 32-year-old is wanted on nine terrorism-related charges. he's been on the fbi's most wanted terror list since last year, and he's suspected to be in syria. elisabeth, steve, brian, back to you guys. >> all right, elizabeth prann with the latest. thank you very much. i've actually got a family
3:04 am
connection to this guy and his history. >> well, according to reports, he attended a catholic high school in westwood, where my husband, his brothers all attended high school as well. looking back to see if there are any records there, pictures, et cetera, of course. you know, he also went to northeastern. that's where he did make the dean's list in terms of college, in massachusetts where many companies, one that i worked for, was located. >> typical american college kid. >> yeah, you know what i mean? look, good grades. but isis understands the power of social media following something brutal like a beheading. so, it's almost equal importance of recruiting people of these skills is high on their list. >> keep in mind, khalid shaikh mohammed, another guy who understands america because he went to college here. he was the college clown. they nicknamed him brutto, but he understands what might intimidate and motivate america. meanwhile, it's hard to believe it's been this many years since president bush authorized the surge in iraq, and he did it against the grain.
3:05 am
he did it when the american people were saying, i'm tired of this war here, it's going on forever. how do we ever get on top of the insurgency? well, the president, as you know, accepted a plan that might have been written mostly by our own general jack keane, implemented by general petraeus. and it is amazing, as you listen to what he's about to say, how pressing he was in his prediction of what would have happened had he pulled out in 2007, and what he actually predicted when we pulled out in 2011. listen to president bush and then his chief speechwriter. >> i know some in washington would like us to start leaving iraq now, begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region and for the united states. it would mean surrendering the future of iraq to al qaeda. it'd mean that we'd be risking
3:06 am
mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq to replace the one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean increasing the probability that american troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. >> every single thing that president bush said there in that statement is happening today. obama did withdraw our troops before the commanders on the ground said we were ready. the general wanted to keep 24,000 troops in iraq. obama went to zero. president bush said if we did that, there would be mass killings on a horrific scale. what are we seeing? mass killings on a horrific scale, execution, women and children being buried alive, crucifixions, beheading of american journalists. president bush said if we withdrew before we were ready, al qaeda in iraq, which is now isis, would establish a safe haven. they now control a swath of territory the size of belgium. all of these predictions have
3:07 am
come true. and of course, we are back there right now launching strikes. >> we are. you know, i know that barack obama was running for president where i'm going to end the war and we're going to come home and americans wanted that. we were all war-weary at that point back in 2007. but the way he pulled out of iraq essentially is the reason we are where we are today. and so, it was such a visionary prediction or a cautionary warning that president bush made there from the podium in 2007. a lot of people are probably scratching their heads going, i wish we would have listened to him. >> yeah. now we're in a situation that when you heard that last line, it gave you a chill. i mean, a chill through your spine, that we'd be facing a much more dangerous enemy now. yes. it's called isis, and here we are. and our administration can't even verbalize what isis really is, you know, can't even say this is war. when james rosen went and, you know, pressed the state
3:08 am
department, asked jen psaki, remember, tuesday or wednesday -- >> wednesday. >> will you call this war? are we at war? direct question. simple, okay? following beheading of american journalists, two. she couldn't even respond. so, when james was speaking with bill o'reilly on "the factor" wednesday, bill had this assessment -- fair. >> with all due respect, and you don't have to comment on this, that woman looks way out of her depth over there, just the way she delivers. it just doesn't look like she has the gravitas for that job. >> okay, so, he says she doesn't have the gravitas for the job. and you look at her resume, and she essentially was a spokesperson for a bunch of politicians. where's her, you know, her background in world affairs? she, according to what i've seen, she doesn't really have one. nonetheless, yesterday, deputy spokesperson at the department of state, marie harf, said bill o'reilly, he's talking about her colleague. he's clearly a sexist!
3:09 am
listen. >> i think that when the anchor of a leading cable news show uses, quite frankly, sexist, personally offensive language that i actually don't think they would ever use about a man against the person that shares this podium with me, i think i have an obligation, and i think it's important to step up and say that's not okay. >> yeah, there's a lot of things you could say about bill o'reilly, and he'd welcome them. there's a lot of people that could insult him. you might be accurate. you could compliment him, you might be accurate. but in terms of being a sexist, i don't think you're watching the show. >> right. >> he's an equal opportunity complimenter and defender. here's an example of bill o'reilly noticing a few things about josh earnest. >> josh earnest. okay, he looks to me to be befuddled. i mean, jay carney, you may not have liked him, but he looked like he understood the process. mr. earnest doesn't look like he has a lot of credibility.
3:10 am
>> so, there you go. marie harf? >> bill o'reilly does not like men. >> that was less than ten days ago that he said that, okay? >> august 26th. >> and if you think he's a sexist, how many women are there that he's in complete dialogue, debate with every single night, brilliant women that he is there discussing the top issues with. >> right. >> and you know, he's been quite fair across the board. but was that comment by marie harf? >> meanwhile, ten minutes after the hour. another fox news alert spans the world, the queen of comedy, joan rivers, dead here in new york city yesterday at the age of 81. >> her daughter, melissa, here making the heartbreaking decision to take her off life support, saying "my mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. although that is difficult to do right now, i know her final wish would be that we would be returning to laughter soon." >> rivers went into cardiac

rivers's star on the hollywood walk of fame. >> i think it's fair to say there was only one joan rivers and never will be another. >> says what she thinks and doesn't care what anyone else thinks. >> reporter: rivers crashed the male-dominated realm of late-night talk shows and is seen as a trailblazer for female comedians. >> to be as sharp-tongued as she was, and you know, to attack celebrities in some ways on stage. she's also a beloved figure and innovator as well. so, there are comics like sir silverman and kathy griffin who would not exist without the path that paved by joan rivers. >> reporter: rivers will also be remembered as a red carpet fashion critic and a familiar face on tv shopping channel quuquuvc, where she sold her own line of jewelry. trace gallagher, fox news. >> joan rivers a good friend of the show, spent a lot of appearances here, was funny every time.
3:13 am
joan rivers's funeral is set for sunday in new york city. no word on whether it will be open to the public. rivers always said she wanted it to be a huge showbiz affair, just couldn't figure out if she was being sincere when she said that. >> she liked to plan. >> she would be happy, then, she made the cover of "the new york times." a comic stiletto quick to skewer, even herself. one ballsy lady. she was born joan polenski and her agent said, you've got to change your name. that agent's name? tony rivers. she goes, i like your name, i'm joan rivers, like that. >> sharp she always was, and could make the funniest of funny laugh. >> that's right. all right, 13 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, you attack us, there will be no mercy. that was one marine's message to isis weeks ago. he's back now with a new one, and he hopes the president is listening. plus, take a look at this. it's the funniest prank you probably will see, but the people being pranked are not laughing one bit. ♪

3:18 am
that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we're at than we currently are. >> wow. the president may not have a strategy yet for battling isis, but our next guest always has. in an open letter to the terror group that's taken the internet by storm, has gone viral, marine corps veteran nick powers laid out his plan for the terrorists, adding, "if you really think you stand a chance on u.s. soil, do you really think it would be smart to poke the bear? you attack us and there will be no mercy." man, that's the tact a lot of us wish this administration would take. powers joined "fox & friends" last month to talk about that letter and now is back with a message not only for isis, but the american people as well. nick, your message resonated with a lot of people. what's your message now? >> i mean, my message now is the same thing. you know, it's more of an outcry to the american public. you know, the framers of the constitution wanted to create a more perfect union, you know, a government that serves its people and also shows itself as
3:19 am
a long-lived example to nations around the world. that's a statement that's on the whitehouse.gov website. and with that statement being on the website of this current administration, who obviously is not living by that, not only are we not an example, we're an embarrassment to the world, but they haven't been serving us for years. i mean, look at the exponential amount of debt that they've inrescued, you know. and we're paying for all these officials to live these lavish lifestyles that aren't doing what they were sworn to do. >> right. don't forget, nick, we are cutting one thing, and that's the military. that makes a lot of sense. but here's the vice president seems to take a page from your letter. he did this a couple of days ago. listen. >> when people harm americans, we don't retreat. we don't forget. we take care of those who are grieving. and when that's finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. >> yeah. the only problem with the vice president's statement is, the
3:20 am
1,000 guys that we have there are saying this after hearing that quote. how can we follow them into the gates of hell? how can we accomplish that goal when we can't even leave the front gate of our own base? >> yeah, and that's been an issue for years. you know, i said it before on a previous interview, the rules of engagement, they have to be modified. we can't fight a force that especially doesn't play by the rules by having rules of engagement that limit us to being a responsive force. we need to be proactive. you know, these roes actually give power to groups like this because they know they can exploit it and use it against us. >> right. and nick, it's up to your leaders and the officers to go to battle so you can win, just go out and win the battles you're asked to fight. nick powers, thanks so much. appreciate your point of view and we'll be talking to you as this campaign continues. thanks. >> all right, thank you. all right, straight ahead, debbie wasserman schultz called wisconsin's governor a wife abuser. >> scott walker has given women the back of his hand.

3:27 am
>> do you think we're too politically correct these days? >> i think we are so politically correct these days that it's probably ruining everything. >> why is comedy important? >> somebody said it wasn't me, i think it was winston churchill, every time you make someone laugh, you give them a little vacation. >> sure. >> it just changes your life! it makes a terrible moment happy. you've been in both sides of the business. >> yes. >> you go into business meetings and everyone's so, vrrrr. i'll do a joke, everyone will relax. then we'll say, okay, guys, now what do we want to do here? and it just changes everything. >> anyone you regret making a joke about? >> no. no, but it's all -- i say you're lucky to have a joke made about you -- >> exactly. >> because if america doesn't know who you are, they're not going to get the joke. so, i only put down people that are very, very famous. >> yes. >> cher. and i said this before, but she's not my act, she'll call

3:46 am
>> well, here to respond is the governor's right-hand woman, the lieutenant governor of wisconsin, rebecca clayfish joins us this morning. good morning, lieutenant governor. what was your initial reaction when you heard those comments? >> well, i was shocked! they're horrible, hideous remarks, where she belittles the victims of domestic violence in order to score cheap political points. and the fact is, mary burke, the woman for whom she was in wisconsin, is not even denouncing these things. you know, you heard the nonapology apology coming out of debbie wasserman schultz. where is mary burke on this? we as women of wisconsin are waiting for her to stand up for us and say i stand with the victims of domestic violence and i stand against debbie wasserman schultz's horrible remarks. >> and what did you think after hearing her apology, the statement that i began with? >> it's not an apology! an apology means saying you're sorry, and debbie wasserman schultz not only did not do
3:47 am
that, but she's certainly not encouraging mary burke to come out and apologize or denounce her remarks, as she should. governor scott walker has a sterling record on women's issues. but on top of that, on helping victims of domestic violence. this last year alone, you take a look at the commitment he has made to wisconsin women -- ending human trafficking with a bill that he signed, cracking down on restraining order loopholes, and on top of that, spending about $15 million in order to further protect and expand services for victims of domestic violence. here is a governor who cares deeply about victims of domestic abuse. and apparently, mary burke won't stand with the women of wisconsin and denounce these remarks. >> well, the clock is ticking on those remarks, if they are yet to come. but you know, debbie wasserman schultz has been known to make comments which made some people's eyebrows raise. take a listen. >> you have the republicans who want to literally drag us all the way back to jim crow laws.
3:48 am
people in too many of the republican members of represent is a threat of bigotry, which is appalling. what the republicans are doing is dangerous for israel. they're undermining israel's security. >> the republicans are engaged in their circular firing squad and embracing extremism and running far to the right as humanly possible. >> i mean, we're talking the head of the dnc here. what message overall does that send about the party? >> apparently, that they can't find a high-quality leader with a little bit of class and a little bit of a filter, because you can differ on poll siitics day long, but there used to be some sort of standard by which you had an eloquent political debate. there is nothing eloquent about the shameful remarks that come out of her mouth. and there is nothing eloquent about mary burke's remarks simply saying, you know, i guess i probably wouldn't have put it that way.
3:49 am
we need a forceful denouncement of the statements made by debbi. debbie wasserman schultz came into wisconsin to support mary burke. mary burke needs to stand with the women of wisconsin and governor scott walker and support women who are victims of domestic violence and say, hey, listen, this is absolutely unacceptable, shameful, disgusting, to belittle victims and try and score votes. >> well, we thank you for those clear comments today, lieutenant governor of wisconsin, rebecca clayfish. we thank you for being with "fox & friends." >> thank you very much. coming up, it's a fox news exclusive. the men who tried to save ambassador chris stevens going on the record about what really happened in benghazi. and you want to know if you're getting the best deal? just look right at the price tag in front of you. did you know there are numbers like this one right here that hold the clue to your cash? ♪ don't need your money, money,

3:54 am
it's a full price, clearance price, might it get cheaper. i thought that was cool. i did the research. found some mom blogs where some employees posted some stuff. before i knew it, i had employees saying this is how we do it at kohl's and home depot, or crabbing information i had. and it was a cool resource and kept growing. >> let's start with target. this is an actual price tag you would see in the store. what do you see right there? >> so that's a clearance tag. in the upper right-hand corner you'll see number, 1530, 50, 75, or 90, that's the percentage off the original price. that's cool. you can kind of tell it's already half price. but the neat thing is the target employee held me every ten to 14 days, they will make that down if it doesn't sell. >> a lot of things end in 99. but that ends in 98. so you also, if it ends in a 9, ends in an 8, they tell a different story. >> so they don't sell that in
3:55 am
ten to 14 days, it will go to 75% off. >> so if it ends in a 9, that's full price. if it ends in an 8, it indicates clearance items. >> that's when you want to look in the upper right-hand corner. >> let's go to costco and this is an image of a regular price tag that you would see in a costco. there it is right there. let's pay attention. folks, see that star up in the upper right-hand corner? what does that tell you? >> that tells you it's a clearance price. more than that, you see the 97. that tells you it's a discounted price. >> so most things at costco end in a 99. >> full price. >> if you see 7, that means it's clearance. >> or discounted price. >> let's go to home depot. >> you want to look for the yellow tags, which are clearance tags. you want to look then if it ends in 06 or 03. if it's 06, there is six weeks until the next mark down.
3:56 am
if they dent sell it, it will get marked down to 03. that's the best deal. >> let's go buy office supplies to office depot. >> you want to look for 01 is the first mark down. if they don't sell it, it will go to 02. it's great back to school. they have a lot of clearance stuff they're trying to get rid it. look for stuff that ends in 02 or 03. the holy grail is 04, the final markdown. >> and i understand you've reached out to some stores and said is this what do you? some go, yeah. and others go, we're not going to talk about how we price stuff. >> exactly. i haven't had any negative backlash. so it's a handy little cheat sheet for consumers. >> it's fantastic. go to our web site for more information. we'll have it up, or ratherbeshopping.com. thank you.

good morning. today is friday, september 5. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. an international manhunt is underway this hour for this man. he's using his american education at one of the country's top schools to wage jihad against the united states. and it's a fox news exclusive. the man who tried to save chris stevens going on the record for the first time about what really happened, when they tried to help. >> thumbs up, thumbs up. ready to go. i said hey, we're ready to go. bob looks right through me and looks at it and goes you need to wait. >> could they have saved these four americans? more from this stunning interview. and after years of hard work
4:01 am
and very little pay, a washington, d.c. congressional staffer finally snaps, saying [ bleep ]. the epic resignation for the parts we can show on television. mornings are better with friends >> you're watching "fox & friends." it's a fabulous show. thank you very much, elizabeth hurley and elisabeth hasselbeck and brian kilmeade. >> if you're just waking up now, we have a lot of news to report. >> we do. we've got a fox news alert. top of this hour. u.s. air strikes taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader abu ba car al bagdadi. he was killed in the terrorist stronghold of mosul. >> there was a lot of
4:02 am
speculation that he died yesterday. other speculation that the president got the news when secretary of state john kerry passed him this note during yesterday's nato meeting in wales. >> this morning there is a new target. the f.b.i. are now hunting for this guy you see here, a tech savvy american from boston believed to be the mastermind behind isis' brutal social media blitz. elizabeth prann joins us live from washington. good morning to you. what more do we know about this guy? >> reporter: we know the f.b.i. is heating up its search for him. officials in the u.s. are using media and hopes to track down this so-called media expert by publishing this picture of amad and playing this recording of his distinct voice tone hoping someone will come forward with information. >> if they don't have a warrant, they don't have a right to do that. make sure you tell your mother that next time, 'cause they might scare her. you know what i'm saying? >> he was suspected of being an architect hyped the internet and social media blitz.
4:03 am
the group has become so advanced at that includes the gruesome youtube videos and twitter propaganda post. he grew up outside boston, the same city where he went to college before reportedly traveling back to the middle east back in 2004 where he worked on media outreach for al-qaeda in iraq. while many say there is still more evidence needed to confirm the suspicions, some experts say he has all the tools that he would need to be an effective asset at inflicting global terror. >> sometimes the pen is more powerful than the sword and i think that's exactly what they're using. it seems like they might be using this individual for. >> reporter: officials say he may be in syria. the 32-year-old is already wanted on nine terrorism-related charges. back to you guys. >> all right. elizabeth prann in dc, we thank you very much. speaking of terrorism, everybody is looking toward next week. it will be the anniversary of september 11. what's interesting now is you know those 37,000 kids who streamed across our southern
4:04 am
border over the last year or so? where did they go? federal government isn't telling us that. all dino for sure is that our southern border is wide open and now there is a report from judicial watch that apparently isis is working in the border town across the river from el paso, juarez. there is a lot of chatter. radio chatter and other things, indicating that isis is going to carry out an attack on the border very, very soon. could be car bombs. could be vehicle borne bombs. don't know. there is just a lot of talk about how isis is across the river and could come over at any time. >> and maybe targeting fort bliss. so they're on alert and changed some of their security tactics reportedly just in case that would happen. also rick perry brought that up yesterday in a speech and says we have no clear evidence, but your common sense tells you when we see the number of criminal activities that occurred, rapes, assaults, murders, by individuals who have come in
4:05 am
illegally over the last five years, it would not surprise him >> what i will share with you that we've seen historic high levels of individuals from countries with terrorist ties over the course of the last month, the obvious great concern that because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across, that individuals from isis or other terrorist states could be and i think is a very real possibility that they may have already used that. >> the pieces of the puzzle seem to indicate that. senior military official spoke with judicial watch this week and actually revealed that they only raised the security alert when clear and present threats are present.
4:06 am
so this isn't anything to be taken lightly. they're making these adjustments because they do feel as though something may indeed happen indicated by evidence on the ground. >> sure. rick perry said in that sound bite, he said isis could be. now according to judicial watch, isis is in the mexican border town of ciudad juarez and they want to do something. >> remember when january net napolitano said the border was secure? right? >> yeah. >> i think harry reid said that. >> yeah, he confirmed it as well. it's secure. >> let's hope he's right. meanwhile, six minutes after the top of the hour. we've got another fox news alert fans around the world mourning joan river, dead at the age of 81. >> her daughter melissa make the heart breaking decision to take her off life support, saying this: my mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. although that is difficult to do right now, i know her final wish would be that we return to

4:08 am
fox and if cost her friendship with carson. she is perhaps best known for her presence on the red carpet. rivers brought her take no prisoners judgment of celebrity fashion to e in 2002 on the series "fashion police." >> joan rivers was 81 years old. and some people are wondering what exactly happened. we don't know. we just know she went in for a relatively minor procedure, a routine procedure. she was going to go on tour all over the country and she was having a procedure where a camera goes down her throat for policy lips, relatively simple procedure. but during it, she underwent cardiac arrest and now they're just trying to figure out what's going on. >> that's right. our hearts go out to melissa, obviously and her entire family. they were all so close. we're with you. heather childers is also with us and she's going to tell
4:09 am
us what else is happening. >> she even had an event planned the very next night after the procedure. we have a fox news alert. live pictures coming in now from omaha, nebraska. just moments ago, we received word that the third american infected with the deadly ebola virus landed on american soil. he is headed to the nebraska medical center for treatment. dr. rick sacra got sick while treating pregnant women in liberia. in a few hours, family and friends will say a final farewell to murdered journalist steven sotloff. a public memorial is being held this afternoon at temple beth am in pine crest, florida. he attended elementary school there. 1,000 people are expected to attend. in prosecutor dice or paradise about to be lost? a major disaster on hawaii's big island. lava is inching within one mile of homes there. there is a new fear it could

4:11 am
>> probably been 15 minutes, i think. and i got out of the car. the team leader was standing on the front porch. i said hey, we need to get over there. we're losing the initiative, you know. and bob just looked straight at me and said stand down. you need to wait. >> started to get calls from the state department guy saying hey, we're taking fire. we need you guys here. we need help. >> after being repeatedly told to wait, the security team says they defied orders and headed to the besieged consulate on their own. they asked repeatedly for armed air support, which never came. looking back, the team believes that if they hadn't been delayed for nearly a half hour, things might have turned out differently. >> i gave you that 30 minutes back, would ambassador and sean smith be alive today? >> yes. they would still be alive. my gut says so. >> new on that?
4:12 am

on their country, many of them willing to die for the cause, fighting for isis overseas. it's even more disturbing is that they're not alone. reports suggest up to 100 more americans are waging jihad in the middle east and could return home here to strike. eric is a terror analyst who knows exactly where they are gathering and where their next move may be. eric, we want to thank you for joining us today. serious information right here obviously. we want to talk about the top five hot beds for terrorism and why individuals are there. we're going to start with chicago. >> yeah. just last week, speak of the devil, in chicago we had a man waving an isis flag outside of his car window and he led police on a high-speed chase. that's just last week. but the network in chicago goes back much further. in recent years, we know that isis talking about the caliphate and establishing an islamic state in the middle east. well, we've had pro-caliphate
4:18 am
conferences held in the chicago area over the past few years by a group called hiz but. we have a long running hamas support network in chicago. a hamas operative was arrested and convicted there and remember, number one, chicago has a large muslim immigrant population. number two, the seers tower is a -- sears tower is a major target. on twitter, isis made a threat against chicago. >> wow. we're going to move to virginia here. obviously proximity playing a major role. >> yeah. a few minutes from where i'm sitting now, in northern virginia, in the shadow of the white house, a major al-qaeda-linked cell wassed here. 11 men. number two, we had radical mosques in this area. yes, just a few minutes from the white house on war al al-awlaki,
4:19 am
you may remember him, the al-qaeda preacher who was killed in a u.s. drone strike in 2011. he was the imam at a major mosque right here in northern virginia. again, large muslim immigrant population here. and again, washington, d.c., obviously major terror target. >> dearborn, michigan, number three. >> very unflattering nickname. other than new york city, dearborn has the top number of people on the terrorist watch list. remember, this is a small city outside of detroit. only 96,000 people in this city. the worry in dearborn is not that people so much are going to go overseas to join isis, but that people from that area may go overseas to join hezbollah. there is a big hezbollah support network there. dearborn is heavily shiite. hezbollah is a shiite terror organization. we've seen people in dearborn area convicted for financing and
4:20 am
supporting hezbollah. >> sure. new york city, that won't surprise many people. but a city that did is minneapolis. what can you tell us about this? >> minneapolis, look, in the midwest, the twin city, the frozen tundra, look, minneapolis, number one. there is at least, by some accounts, a dozen folks from minneapolis who traveled to syria and iraq to join up with isis. but a big thing here is the large somali muslim migrant population in minneapolis. chilly minneapolis has the largest somali population in the united states and dozens, since 2008, dozens of somali immigrants have traveled to somalia to join al-qaeda linked groups and now traveling to syria to join isis. major problem. >> wow. eric, terror expert here, we want to thank you for the analysis and mapping out the hotbeds across the u.s. good to see you. >> thank you. snubbed again. another mistake at the v.a. costing our veterans millions. that's next.

4:26 am
against that earlier quote? >> well, because in a lot of ways, my own experience. football taught me lot. i was in a pretty bad way when i was in high school. my family was in bad shape, my sister just died. we were having a lot of trouble. and i was pretty aimless. i managed to get myself out for the team and worked pretty hard and changed my body and my mindset a little bit. i guess kids can develop courage and they can develop loyalty and they can develop character through playing football. and i'd hate to see those things lost. i'd like to see the game a lot safer. >> your dad wasn't a hands on parents. so-called helicopter parents you see in sports. but he did like football and he did say to you, you go play. let me see your helmet first. so he cared about safety. so that was a way for to you connect with your dad, right? >> it was, yeah. we spent a lot of sunday afternoons watching jim brown and his two favorite players. he told me a lot about what he valued.

he valued that he started out with not a whole lot of ability, that i was familiar with. he built himself up a brick at a time and became a star. and jim brown was a man god. hearing a guy in the 1950s massachusetts talk about an african-american that way with plain good respect, that was something i didn't hear all that much. it was great to hear. >> you say do you have reservation. yeah, you learn aggression and courage, but you have to learn to leave it on the field. correct? >> yeah. that's a hard thing. they talk about this quality called timosis, desiring to be in first place. it's really good to get access to that quality and that spiritedness and energy. but then i think you got to learn how to control it. that's where the coaches coachee parents come in. they have to be careful because they've unleashed kind of a beast. that beast will be put to good use or put to destructive use. >> one thing i really like about your book, it's easy to look at mike strahan and say football helped you, no kidding. but if you look at a professor
4:28 am
at virginia and say football helped me, then people are intrigued because we can relate more to you than we can like this hall of famer who works down the street. >> well, there you go. i think i kind of have the every guy's relationship to football. i'm still friends with a lot of my teammates. we sit there and we talk about the games we won and the ones we lost and also about the game and how it's good to be friends with them still. >> as you use a quote from tim green, former falcon, he said life is about getting knocked down and getting back up. that's with football teaches you. those are the types of things you pick up in your book that is now out "why football matters." thanks so much. now to your students over at virginia. >> thank you so much. two minutes before the bottom of the hour. she called wisconsin governor scott walker a wife beater. up next, the governor's right hand woman responds and your e-mails pouring in. and after years of hard work and a little pay, congressional

epidemic. doctors said they were consulting with the people at emory university who took care of dr. brantley and nurse writebol to get tips how to take care of this patient. there was questions to why the patient was brought here to nebraska as opposed to emory university. the government apparently wanted to make sure that all of these biocontainment facilities were up and running, wanted to make sure that everybody was up to speed on treating patients. here is the interesting thing about dr. sacra. he has been working at the same hospital in monrovia, liberia where ebola patients have been brought, but he was not working in the ebola ward. he is an obstetrician. so sim-usa, the medical mission for whom he works, figures the best guess and it's only a guess at this point for how he got infected is a patient came in infected with ebola, but was not showing any symptoms at all and that's how he was infected with the virus. his wife yesterday gave a press

two more schools in new york have dropped the school lunch program. they're dropping out of michelle obama's lunch program. it turns out the food isn't so popular with students. >> not at all. not only do they refuse to eat it, it's costing schools even more money when they throw it away. joinings now is the president of the school nutrition association. these findings are shocking. we're glad you're with us 'cause you understand the numbers behind what the kids should be munching on at lunch and breakfast. 81% more food is thrown away with this program. 60% more cost from whole grain that's been instituted there. and 80% -- 87% think breakfast will add a cost in 2014 and 15. when you see these numbers what, does that mean? where is the money coming from if refuse is down from these lunch sales? >> the school meal programs are
4:54 am
very dependentent on the federal reimbursement and paid students cash. with increased cost is becoming increasingly difficult for districts to remain fiscally solvent. when the school meal program doesn't make money or loses money, then the school district has to pick up the tab. >> yeah. and kids are saying, i'd rather just bring lunch from home or not eat at all. that's what they do in my high school. here are the recommendations. 15% of grains should be whole grain. there is nothing wrong with that. that's 100% nutritionally correct. maintain sodium levels and don't require a fruit or vegetable. and they want to loosen a la cart requirements. so these are the requests. what would the requests do to the bottom line? >> so first of all, the school nutrition association has supported strong standards for school meals for a long time. some of the new requirements go too far.
4:55 am
and whole grain rich would allow school districts to occasionally offer white tortilla or white rice, products that students are more familiar with at home. many districts are struggling with acceptability of whole grain versions of popular products in their region like biscuits and grits in the south, tortillas in the southwest, and bagels in the northeast. so a little bit of flexibility would enable school food service directors to plan menus that are acceptable to students, and will give them time to identify products that are acceptable to their students and available in the markets where they operate. >> an apple isn't healthy if it's thrown away, or something that's mandated, isn't so healthy if the kids aren't eating it. we're learning the money that they're not going to get is going to come from the educational fund. this -- these suggestions will make a difference, you say? >> yes, they will.
4:56 am
regarding the requirement for the fruit or vegetable, we support the expanded variety of fruits and vegetables that we offer and we also support larger serving sizes. but we don't want kids to have to take an item if they don't intend to eat it. one cornell researcher has estimated that it has increased waste 100% and there is over $680 million worth of fresh produce going into the trash each year. >> and people should keep their egos out of it and do what's work and hopefully they'll be open to your suggestions. you certainly carry a lot of weight. hopefully you'll be listened to. thanks so much. >> thank you for having me. straight ahead, an international manhunt is underway for this man. he's using his american education at one of the nation's top schools to wage jihad against the united states. are there more like him? geraldo rivera here live. forget isis. hillary clinton says the most urgent issue for our nation is climate change. we're going to play the tape.

they've got a proper passport f we don't know who they were when they left, there is a possibility, although we're obviously on high alert that, they could sneak back in. they know our ways. remember the world war ii movie, the japanese has the american pow, i know your ways, i went to ucla. that's what we're fearing now. >> if they didn't want to go one way, they could come from the south a border we're hearing in terms of raised elevation level of security there at some basis. we've got an issue right now. exposure on the south of our own country here. >> i had heard those reports. i did an hour documentary about it. i can only say two quick things. number one, there has never been a verified penetration of the southern border by an islamic extremist terrorist. >> how would we know? >> let me go on to what has been verified. there has been penetrations from canada and successful terrorist attacks launched from canada, but we have no great clamor to put a wall up with the great white north.
5:06 am
and i fear that that -- that fear, it is all justified that people could come in anyway. but i don't want our fight against terror to be mixed up with the whole debate on immigration. i fear that that is what's happening. >> it could be one of the causes. the story today is apparently judicial watch uncovered that apparently there is so much chatter on our southern border, they've got evidence to suggest that isis is essentially in the town across the river from el paso and there is chatter, radio chatter -- >> i know juarez very well. i've been there. i've covered the dead bodies on the corner. if there was a muslim extremist there and the mexicans knew about t i would not want to be that muslim extremist. they're fierce in their own way. they have no common cause. they're deeply catholic. the people in mexico. i don't see that as the big threat. i see the big threat as people coming in with legal visa, like the 9-11 terrorists. next week is 9-11. how did they get here? with legal visas that they
5:07 am
overstayed. that's the danger. i think that canada is a very porous border and they can fit in more there. >> just so you know, they always change their tactics. they always adapt. >> absolutely true. >> the other thing is drugs and terrorists, that's a way to finance their terror activity. >> also agree. >> you reported on that in afghanistan. let's switch to joe biden. firey rhetoric talked about we will follow you, meaning eye circumstances to the gates of hell because that's where you belong. >> i loved that speech. >> right. >> then bret baier came back. i loved it, too. more to look at our enchristmas eve say we're going to take you out, which i was hoping our president would say. so the vice president says that. and bret baier was able to get intelligence from our special ops on the ground who said how can we follow them to the gates of hell if we can't even get off our base? >> i totally get that. and i understand that we have to put our boots where our mouth is to a certain extent.
5:08 am
you remember the campaign, the kosovo campaign against the serbs, how we did the whole thing by air. we even told the serbs we were going to hit that train at 12:00 o'clock tomorrow and we hit them. i believe that the paranoia is given america's very shaky support for foreign intervention and boots on the ground, our fear is that we'll have american casualties. that's why you are seeing this fervent denial that we'll have troops on the ground. it's going to be an air campaign. and i believe in my heart of hearts as a veteran combat correspondent that an air campaign right now is sufficient. we are driving them back. >> what about saying what we're not going to do. nick powers a marine, said this to us earlier. >> the rules of engagement, they have to be modified. we can't fight a force that especially doesn't play by the rules, by having rules of engagement that limit us to be a responsive force. we need to be pro-active. these roes give power to groups
5:09 am
like this because they know they can exploit it and use it against us. >> okay. so joe biden says we're going to follow you to the gates of hell. we can't because of the rules of engagement. even the invisible border with syria we're not bombing there. >> i lament a couple of things. i lament that the president has not acted sooner and more decisively. i am calling on the president today, as i have been all week, to bring back general david petraeus, the former director of central intelligence. i was with general petraeus in mosul, in northern iraq. no battlefield commander in the uniform of united states knows that territory better. he was disgraced, had an affair with a reporter or secretary, whatever. let's forgive him his trespass. none of us are perfect. bring back general petraeus and also bring back general stanley mccrystal who was our commander in afghanistan and commander of special forces in iraq. have him take over the kurdish
5:10 am
fighters. let general mccrystal help direct the kurdish force. >> that's boots on the ground. >> exactly. general petraeus can give us an overall strategy for motivating. i have seen him with the sunni sheik, the tribal leaders. he's the best that would ever happen. >> on a much different note -- >> he may not want to be painted as a war president and those generals indicate war to many people and as keen and wise as much as they know about the region, our president may not want that. >> a declaration of war against isis. isis is a defacto state, let america declare war on isis. >> before you go, you got to talk about your friend more many years, joan rivers. >> i loved her. we were in the talk show business together. we did eight shows together. we just completed a reality show six weeks. she was a dear friend, tried, true, loyal. i think that -- back stage at
5:11 am
tom hanks' play a year ago, it was a fun night with erica and joan, i think the big story there will be this is michael jackson type story again. dr. conrad murray went to jail for administering this powerful sedative in a setting where he had no capacity to deal with an emergency, an emergency resuscitation. she did a store front clinic, an 81-year-old woman going to a store front clinic getting totally knocked out with propothol, this powerful sedative. they had no ability to resuscitate her. how can that be that they have to call 911, six minutes. she's already dead by the time they get her to bring her to the hospital. i think it's outrageous and i think that the department of health in new york state is righteously and importantly investigating that clinic. >> what's going to happen with that reality show? i've never really remembered this, she's passed away now. we haven't seen episode one. how do you think this plays out?
5:12 am
>> i think that my wife and i had this discussion yesterday. remember when fill -- philip seymorw died? sometimes there is more curiousity after the person is gone. in other terms it might turn off people. >> what do you think she would want? >> there is no doubt joan would want everything that she has on tape to be aired. there is no doubt. she had a gig planned that she we want to that procedure thursday. she was supposed to be at the theater in new jersey on friday. >> she left us laughing and you and she went under the needle together. remember that? >> when she filled the wrinkles in my forehead with the fat from my butt? >> yes. >> remember that? >> this is like free botox. the idea was they took the fat out of your butt to fill your

esurance. insurance for the modern world. now backed by allstate. click or call. we've got a fox news alert. u.s. air strikes have taken out three senior isis terrorists, including the top aide to isis leader al bagdadi. he was killed in the terror stronghold of mosul. >> many speculate the president got the news when the secretary of state john kerry passed him this note during yesterday's nato meetings in wales. he continues those meetings today trying to both pressure russia to get out of ukraine and build a coalition to defeat isil. >> we'll bring in chris wallace with us now. chris, does it look like he's actually able to get through and get help in this coalition to fight isis and terror? >> i don't think it's clear, elisabeth. a number of countries have said yes, they're going to join and military efforts. but so far britain and france, other countries, mostly taken the form of military aid and
5:35 am
assistance to the kurds, but not necessarily they're going to start flying air strikes as well. it's certainly good news to hear we got some of al bagdadi's top lieutenants. i wish we had gotten the top guy himself. joe biden talked about sending them to the gates of hell. i suspect if they get there, they'll be ushered right in. >> right. the big question was, we talked about on the radio yesterday, the intelligence and the white house on separate pages and now back at home, we might have a strategy, according to the defense department. general dempsey said this at a town hall on facebook, at the president's direction, we have developed a military strategy with a series of option on how we can initially contain, continue to disrupt and ultimately defeat isil. so do we have a strategy? >> we'll see. i mean, obviously -- we'll find out when they decide whether or not they're going to go across the border into syria. it's terrific that we were able to get them in mosul.
5:36 am
but the fact is because they have the protection of this nonexistent border in syria and can just scurry back there because we have kind of kept our at least one arm tied behind our back, the question is are we going to strike them? they have a lot of targets. their main headquarters is in northern syria. a lot of their training camps. we believe the hostages, american and other foreign hostages were being held there. their supply lines are pretty exposed across the syrian border. so are we going to do that or not? we'll see. and what's interesting, he talked about the fact that we have a strategy or option for the president to decide on. the real question here has never been whether there are options and a strategy at the pentagon. it's been whether or not the president is going to adopt it. >> sure. and that could be one of the -- when the videos have come out where these americans are beheaded, if you watch what is available on line, it is despicable and disgusting and you see it and you're so affected and then you have the president of the united states, he's so cautious, some would say
5:37 am
aloof in some instances. maybe that's one of the reasons americans now are giving him very bad grades. according to augural lop poll, he tied his all-time low. 30% of the people in the united states approve of the job he's doing. >> i don't know that it means -- it's interesting. i don't think it means that people are rush to go get into war. when asked specifically on foreign policy, they don't approve of it. on the other hand they aren't itching to get into a war again in the middle east. >> but they want somebody with a plan. >> if i may, i think the thing that is upsetting them so much is the idea of weakness, that they don't like the idea of america and the american president being pushed around, whether it's by al bagdadi in the middle east, whether it's by putin on the russia-syria border. i think it's that weakness upsetting people. and we talked about it yesterday, you have elizabeth warren, you don't get much further to the left in the democratic party than elizabeth
5:38 am
warren and she did an interview yesterday or the day before in which she talked tougher than the president of the united states and talked about destroying isis. well, when elizabeth warren is to your right, you've got an issue if you're the commander in chief. >> you also have an issue that the american people don't trust, you're convicted and you understand and believe we should be leading the way here. when you look back to 2007 and what president george w. bush said about iraq and hear it now, it is so relevant that getting out too early, getting out the wrong way in iraq could lead us to facing a much more dangerous enemy today and when you hear it now, it will give you chills. take a listen. >> i know some in washington would like to us start leaving iraq now. begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we're ready would be dangerous for iraq, for the region, and for the united states. it means surrendering the future of iraq to al-qaeda.
5:39 am
it means that we'd be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. it would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in iraq and replace with one they lost in afghanistan. it would mean the increasing the probability that american troops would have to return in some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. >> all that happened exactly like he projected and that was prior in the midst of the surge trying to get support. >> yeah. i was going to say, you don't even have to go nearly that far because at that point, the president was talking about a surge. we had over 100,000 troops in iraq. when he left, he had negotiated the status of forces agreement to leave a much smaller force, maybe 10,000 or 15,000 there as a kind of force to stabilize the iraqi government, to stabilize the iraqi army. and that's the one that president obama failed to work out a deal with al-maliki and as a result, we took all of our troops out and things kind of
5:40 am
went to hell. so you don't have to have a surge. you could have had a much smaller force that the pentagon was calling for, 10 or 15,000. we still have over 30,000 troops in korea and it's been a half a century. so just because you have troops on the ground doesn't mean they're in a combat role. it's kind of an insurance policy. a policy that we decided we didn't need anymore. >> chris, that's looking back. now let's look forward. who are you going to be sitting next to on sunday morning? >> well, couple of very interesting people on just exactly this subject. first of all, mitt romney. we'll talk about this. he's got a tough editorial in the "washington post" today in which he talks about weakness and foreign policy and what it gets you. we'll also talk to mike mccall, the chairman of the house homeland security committee and the big concern is could some of those american fighters that go over to isis, could they come back and launch another 9-11 as we approach the 13th anniversary? so i think it will be a very interesting fox news sunday. >> we'll be tube side. thank you.
5:41 am
>> mitt romney calling for the building up our defense forces again. meanwhile, here is heather with what else is happening in the world. >> we have other stuff going on to talk about. a brand-new. >> ems into some heart-stopping moments that a great white shark tossed two women from their kayaks and it comes from the 911 call that they made from the water with the shark. >> help! i was just on the boat! we're stuck in the water and there is a shark! >> where is the shark? >> i don't know, he bumped me out of my boat. please, i'm floating away! please! please! i'm scared! >> both women were rescued. the shark leaving behind some giant bite marks right there in one of the kayaks. a pilot forced to turn his plane around on command from the f.b.i the reason? a mother was trying to kidnap her child and escape to china. the united flight returned to dulles airport five hours after

department released its monthly jobs report. joining us right now here on the couch is from fox business, melissa francis. the news not good. >> it was a huge miss. economists were looking for an addition of 225,000 jobs to the economy. instead it was 142,000. way below expectations. we thought the labor force participation rate, the number of people who are out there actively looking for a job dropped. it means that even more people gave up. it was supposed to be 225. we've been above 200,000 for more than six months now. moving along. we really need to be at 300,000 or 400,000 to really get the economy back on track. this is a big disappointment and a big miss. manufacturing very light. that's where we saw a lot of big drop. also retail. so people just not really hiring out there. >> could it be anything to do with the summer job dismissal? >> it could. some of it, there was a strike in the northeast. that's one of the things.
