that. >> they're just somewhere else now. we'll link up again, some hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. welcome to a brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> i'm eric shaun. topping the news at this hour. >> after months of vowing to move forward on immigration reform by the end of this summer, president obama today saying it won't happen until at least the end of fall. the reason? he's waiting until after the midterm election. the growing outrage next. and we'll have the latest on the search for the wreckage of that small private plane from new york that was carrying a prominent real estate couple. search crews off jamaica have come across debris in the search for that missing plane.
3:01 pm
and you know the controversy surrounding lois lerner? well, now the irs is telling congress it has lost e-mails from even more employees. so will anyone be held accountable? we'll have the latest. white house officials now saying president obama will wait until after november's midterms to implement immigration measures. the officials say executive action on immigration during the campaign season would not only politicize the issue, but also hurt future reform efforts. others argue the timing is all about politics. molly henneberg has the latest now from washington. molly? >> reporter: the top republican in the house, speaker john boehner, is one of those people who contend that the president's timing is all about politics and the upcoming mid terms. boehner said in a statement, quote, there is never a right time for the president to declare amnesty by executive
3:02 pm
action. but the decision to simply delay this deeply controversial and possibly unconstitutional unilateral action until after the elections instead of abandoning the idea all together smacks of raw politics. president obama made the point yesterday during the nato summit in wales that he believes he has the authority to take action on immigration separate from congress. >> in the absence of action by congress, i'm going to do what i can do within the legal constraints of my office because it's the right thing to do for the country. >> reporter: and he has the support of the top democrat in the senate, harry reid put out a statement saying issues quote, i know the president is determined to act and when he does, i support a broad use of his authority to fix as much of our broken immigration system as he can through executive action. pr citizenship for illegal immigrants such as the pico national network are
3:03 pm
disappointed in the president's decision. a statement said today that the president and senate democrats made it clear that, quote, undocumented immigrants and latinos are simply viewed as political pawns. arthel? >> molly henneberg, thanks a lot. nato was founded in 1949 to face the looming soviet threat and protect the west during the cold war. but now it's six decades later and the enemy radical islamic terrorism. as key u.s. allies agree to help fight isis in iraq and syria. this as president obama vows to destroy that terrorist group, saying a coalition of countries will be better able to launch an offensive against those militants. leeland vittert live with the details of what we can expect. hi. >> reporter: hi. it took three press conferences for president obama and at least a couple of weeks to finally articulate a clear strategy for dealing with isis. yesterday just before he left that nato summit, he seemed find
3:04 pm
his message. >> you can't contain an organization that is running rough shod through that much territory causing that much havoc, displacing that many people, killing that many innocents and slaving that many women. the goal has to be to dismantle them. >> reporter: republicans seem unconvinced, saying while the president has finally defined the mission as you just heard, they point to a lack of plan as further evidence that the white house is bungling the response to isis and allowing the terrorist group to now grow into a terrorist state. >> the fact that we have let this go and especially over the last seven, eight months as we've watched these columns of isis fighters travel city by city and have not hit them by the air, this is irresponsible. >> reporter: we've learned that president obama is going to meet with top congressional leaders
3:05 pm
at the white house on tuesday. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, who will be in the meeting, issued a statement about it, saying it has become clear that the president's plan is outlined in his west point speech to train and equip militaries of partner nations as the united states draws down its conventional forces across the globe is not tenable. the threat from isil is real and growing, the statement continues, and it is time for president obama to exercise some leadership in launching a response. the question is what kind of response? we may learn a little bit from that meeting. the question now is the meeting a prelude to asking for congressional approval to engage in a larger military campaign against isis? perhaps something like actually hitting their bases in syria, or is the meeting to justify the president's current policy? the answer to that will come on tuesday. >> and later on, we'll be talking to captain chuck nash about what we need to do to destroy isis.
3:06 pm
arthel? speaking of syria, where there are reports of at least 25 deaths following a series of air strikes launched by syrian forces against isis targets, the air strikes wreaking havoc on the northeastern city of raqqa. the syrian government has ramped up air strikes there after insurgents seized military posts, executed dozens of soldiers and forced remaining syrian troops out of the area. vladimir putin and parishen co- are both saying the same thing, saying the cease fire is holding for the most part. that despite each side claiming the other has so far violated the truce. dominic denatale has the latest on that unrest. >> reporter: hey there. russia getting reports coming in from witnesses saying the sustained explosions in the southern port city of maripol in
3:07 pm
the past few moments. what's happened is it appears that it's a series of grand rockets that are hitting a position of volunteer battalion of ukraine forces. this happening really in the past 30 minutes or so. so whether that's a collapse of the cease fire or whether it's just one incident yet to be determined. we do know the ukrainian president has spoken to vladimir putin, his russian counterpart, saying that the cease fire had been holding so far. but what this quite means, it was a fragile cease fire to begin with and they had intended to have further talks on where the cease fire could actually go and what it could lead to in terms of negotiations. the west is very skeptical about this cease fire holding. president obama speaking in wales really wanted to see ways in which russia could be contained even further, saying that actually giving ukraine's military enough backing without
3:08 pm
nato forces having to fight the separatists will be the best thing to do. here is what he had to say about that. >> all 28 nato allies will now provide security assistance to ukraine. this includes nonlethal support, like body armor, fuel, and medical care for wounded ukrainian troops, as well as assistance to help modernize ukrainian forces, including logistics and command and control. >> reporter: now, that announcement follows calls here within the united states, the u.s. senator that we have to bolster support for the ukrainian military in order to prevent vladimir putin and the separatists that he's back of gaining further ground in eastern ukraine. but europeans putting meaningful sanctions, at least that's what they're calling them, as early as tuesday on the russians. a travel ban in the european union for people connected, 24 officials connected to vladimir putin or people, members of the
3:09 pm
russian government. also they're going to crack down on the financial assets in the european union. we understand there will be restrictions on how much dealings the russians can actually do with regard to arms and defense technology. we shall learn more about that probably monday or tuesday. back to you. >> we'll see if this finally stops putin or just slows him down a bit. thank you. the irs now telling congress it has lost e-mails from even more employees. five employees who were being questioned about the agency's tea party's targeting scandal. those vanished e-mails apparently include some from an official who worked closely with lois lerner. the former irs official at the center of the investigation. elizabeth prann with the latest on all of those lost e-mails. >> reporter: hi. the internal revenue service says five its questioned employees have lost e-mails per staining to the pea party targeting scandal after a number of computer crashes. the one law maker says they
3:10 pm
still may be out there. jim jordan is calling irs commissioner john koskinen to testify september 17 about the recorded exchange server drives which may not have been destroyed due to budgetary constraints. as of friday, the irs says additional employees, including processing agents, technical advisor to lois lerner, tax law specialist and group specialist experienced lost e-mails. house oversight committee chairman darrell issa reacting to the news, saying in part, quote, the irs's ever changing story is practically impossible to follow at this point as they modify it each time to accommodate new facts. this pattern must stop. the irs shooting back to critics saying in part, the irs has found no evidence that any irs personnel deliberately destroyed any evidence. to the contrary, the computer issues identified appear to be the same sorts of issues routinely experienced by employees within the irs.
3:11 pm
jordan says there are 760 exchange server tapes that could be potential sources for the destroyed e-mails sent or received by lois lerner. arthel, back to you. >> okay. thank you. family and friends are getting ready to bid farewell to joan rivers tomorrow. they'll be walk ago special crimson carpet, that would befit the unique miss rivers. that red carpet at a private funeral at a manhattan significant gag. there is no word on the exact cause of her death. the medical examiner said the autopsy was inconclusive. as you know, she had been hospitalized since last week when she errorredly went into cardiac arrest during what they say was a routine throat procedure at an outpatient clinic on manhattan's east side. new york state health officials are now investigating the clinic and we're told her death.
3:12 pm
a massive clean-up underway in southern michigan after a violent storm swept through the area, leaving 100,000 people without power. >> the wind started blowing really hard and trees falling. >> we heard a big bang. >> it was just like boom. my daughter said mommy, the tree fell! >> went outside a couple minutes later and saw the trees down. >> well, now severe storms are taking aim at another part of the country. here is meteorologist janis dean live in our fox extreme weather center with the latest. where are we talking about? >> across the northeast. we're seeing showers and thunderstorms pop up from texas through the tennessee river valley. the area we really think is going to be affected by strong to severe storms is the mid-atlantic, northeast and new england. so all of these big cities here, millions of people could see large hail, damaging winds, even isolated tornadoes. we had an earlier report of a tornado in northern
3:13 pm
massachusetts that expired and now we have a couple of several severe thunderstorm warnings, east of philadelphia and then north of boston, north of portland. and looks like north of dc as well. where we could see certainly gusty winds, we could see some hail and isolated tornadoes throughout the evening and into the overnight. look at the heat index. what it feels like earlier in new york, it felt like 96 in d.c it was 100. as this cold front plows into the very warm unstable air mass, that's why we have a little bit of that lift and the potential for severe storms. let's take a look at it as we go through saturday evening. the worst of the weather really offshore by the overnight, ends tomorrow. we're left with nice conditions across the northeast tomorrow. we're left with temperatures in the upper 70s. watching hurricane norbert. it will curve back into baha, california, bring with it the flash flooding potential for the four corners. this is the desert area. so an inch or two inches of rain
3:14 pm
in a short period of time will cause potential life-threatening flooding. so we're going to have to keep a close eye on this area as well. lots to talk about. we'll give you the latest on the watches and warnings. back to you. >> okay. thanks. the number of americans who have been infected with ebola now stands at three. coming up, we'll tell you about the latest patient who at this moment is being treated in nebraska. we will have the very latest on his condition. and data from the labor department showing the unemployment rate for one specific group remains much lower than for others. there is an emotional reunion this weekend for some vets who last fought together in southeast asia four decades ago. >> kind of brings a tear to your eye. once they leave, you go on. you don't know if they lived or died [ female announcer ] we help make secure financial tomorrows a reality

3:16 pm
you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. and now celebrex may be available for as little as $4 a month. terms and conditions apply. to learn more, go to celebrex.com.

firms say a third american aide worker infected with ebola is in stable condition and communicating with care givers. he's being treated at a special isolation unit at nebraska medical center in omaha. he is from massachusetts and has spent about the last two decades or so treating ill patients in
3:19 pm
liberia. health officials say they're considering experimental treatments, including using blood serum from a recovered patient. the 51-year-old physician delivered babies at a hospital in liberia and was not involved in treating ebola patients as were the two other americans who were infected. he is the third u.s. aid working to get ebola during the current crisis which is estimated to have killed more than 2,000 people so far in west africa. to that new batch of lost irs e-mails, apparently from five employees being questioned about the agency's tea party targeting scandal. the irs says those vanished e-mails include some from an official who worked closely with lois lerner. you remember she's the former agency official at the center of the investigation. the irs is blaming computer crashes just like with lois lerner. the irs inspector general is investigating what exactly happened to her lost e-mails. here to weigh in is former mode
3:20 pm
i can't spokesperson for president george w. bush and richard fowler, radio talk show host of the richard fowler show. good to see you both this saturday. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> mercedes, what does this boil down to? >> quite frankly, we have to consider whether it's the incompetence of the irs or a coincidence. when you look at it out of 93,000 irs employees, what is it that the key five staffers that are involved in the irs crisis or scandal that they've all of a sudden had computer problems and lost these e-mails? i mean, this is a big problem that the irs is having because the irs failed to comply with the federal records act where they are supposed to preserve these federal e-mails and i just think that this story, as much as the democrats want to push it away, i think it's growing bigger and bigger. >> richard, so how do irs officials explain their way out of this?
3:21 pm
>> listen, i don't think the story is growing bigger and bigger at all. i think it's doing the opposite. it's growing smaller and smaller because the irs turned over 5,000 documents to the government oversight committee on the united states house of representatives side. i got to tell you, i think this story is dead in the water. republicans do everything in their power to bring this story back up so they can have impact in the midterm elections coming up. but the truth is this story is dead in the water. it's been dead in the water. and republicans continue to bring it up and it's really sad. >> mercedes, is it going to go further, because the investigation, the justice department is saying it would be too burdensome to search the back up system. who does the legal ax fall on? anyone or is this a matter that will somehow disappear? >> this is why there needs to be a special counsel assigned to this. the mere fact that you had the irs commissioner, steven miller, basically ask to have the secret research project where they illegally obtained a donor list of these conservative groups,
3:22 pm
where one in ten of these donors have been audited, that in and of itself needs to be further investigated. the mere fact again that they just keep ignoring -- when you look at the fact, how are you going to explain that 83% of those groups that were pulled away from the normal process received extra scrutiny were conservative groups, that those conservative groups were asked triple the amount of questions than the progressive groups and less than half of these groups were approved while all the progressive groups were approved. that is complete targeting. >> senator levin said this weekend in a statement to john mccain's statement that listen, democratic groups are just as targeted and prerogative groups are. what the irs was trying to do is make sure they provided the best level playing field for all groups engaging in this behavior. >> that's bull. come on, richard. >> i think we can all agree that if we really want to fix this
3:23 pm
problem, we need true campaign reform and true tax reform and the truth is, the will is here in washington to get it done. the sad part is, the politics in washington aren't here to get it done. >> the will is to get tax reform done? >> tax reform, as well as fixing our campaign finances system. >> this is dealing with corruption and obstruction of the justice. this is about groups that have been targeted. when you look at the report by senator levin, what they failed to include were these key e-mails that, oops, they disappeared. so they don't have these e-mails. they only included a high level of information from one of the deputy inspector generals. they do not have complete information in that senator levin report. and it needs further investigation. >> richard is asking you how do you fix it? what's the fix here? >> first of all, going through the judicial process of making sure that people are held accountable, that lois lerner
3:24 pm
is -- >> wait a second. holding people accountable and having more -- >> in the irs. >> being accountable and having more congressional hearings is not how we fix it. let's come to the table, democrats and republicans, and let's have campaign finance reform that. will fix all the problems. >> they're going to fix the irs? really? that's an internal problem within the irs. richard -- >> i got to go. i appreciate the excitement of both your parts. thank you we'll see you both again. >> thank you. >> take care. vietnam veterans gathering in las vegas 40 years after the war. some 1500 vets from the 11th armored cavalry regiment attended. >> got here, the last time i seen him, he took a rocket propelled grenade, lost two of his men. last time i seen him i was
3:25 pm
putting him on a chopper. >> i didn't recognize him. i did not recognize him. >> very emotional and deeply meaningful. of course our hats off to these vets. during the war, their unit lost 700 members. a wildfire near one of our nation's most popular national parks scorching hundreds of acres and threatening hundreds of homes, an update on the fire coming up next. also the new way pet stores across our nation are standing up for these little guys musical chairs. fun, right?

3:30 pm
time for the top of the news. white house officials saying president obama will now delay implementing immigration measures until after november's midterm elections. this despite the president's earlier promise that he was going to act on the controversial issue by the end of this summer: a search underway off jamaica where the small plane crashed yesterday, killing two people on board. the officials say they have found an oil slick in the area. that aircraft was a private airplane carrying a new york state real estate developer, larry glazer. he's believed to be the pilate, along with his wife. they were on that plane and it went off course, flew over cuban air space and crashed. an oxygen problem suspected. a wildfire raging near yosemite national park is threatening hundreds of homes. it's already burned 300 acres and is only now 25% contained. about 700 homes have been forced to evacuate. so far there are no reports of any negative effects on the national park.
3:31 pm
pet shop owners across the country appear to be taking a stand against animal cruelty with many of them now refusing to sell dogs bred in so-called puppy mill, opting instead for rescue dogs from local shelters. brian llennas picking up the store now. i like the story. this sounds like good news to me. >> reporter: it does. the humane society says it's a trend that's catching on, as some pet shop owners say they no longer want to really support these so-called puppy mills where dogs are overbred, mistreated and malnourished. michael gill is owner of we love pets in media, pennsylvania. he changed his two shops into animal rescues after six puppies in his story died. he said the sick dogs came from puppy mills and were sold to him through the hunt corporation, one of the nation's largest puppy distributors. gill says hunt falsified the dogs' health records, medicating them to mask symptoms.
3:32 pm
>> we couldn't send the animals home in all good conscience knowing we couldn't guarantee their health because we didn't know what was done prior to getting them. when we had found out what was done, we converted immediately to rescue. >> reporter: an e-mail to fox news, the hunts corporation said gill's allegations are false. noting commercial breeding is government regulated and they have hundreds of satisfied pet retailers with healthy pets, saying, quote, the hunt corporation does not work with, nor approve of substandard breeding facilities. we only work with usda regulated or hobby breeders. 56 local governments have passed laws banning the sale of commercially raised puppies in pet stores. there are an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in the u.s. where anywhere from ten dogs to more than 1,000 are overbred for profit. >> they're flooding our communities with puppies at a time when shelters are struggling to adopt out homeless
3:33 pm
animals. so they're contributing to the pet overpopulation problem and to the euthanasia crisis. >> reporter: the hunte corporation says while they support shelters, they also support the right of consumer choice. like you said, good news all around that these dogs are being adopted. >> that's for sure. thank you so much. wall street is way up. will it continue? we know the swelling 401(k)s and stark portfolios do not match the jobs report. the unemployment rate dropped to 6.1%, many say it's because people have just given up. and the newest labor department data reveals the unemployment rate for college grads is only about half the national rate. 3.2%. there are concerns that about what type of jobs the college grads have. what does this mean for all of us? the founder of powell financial groups joins us. please explain this to me. i don't get it. wall street is way up. it's breaking records. it doesn't seem to translate on
3:34 pm
the jobs front. >> this is the most lack luster jobs recovery that we've had out of any recession of our lifetime. you might say maybe the depression, we're going back much further. but this has just been an absolutely lack luster jobs recovery. we need to produce a minimum of 100,000 jobs each and every month just to absorb the new entries into the work force. this past month, 142,000. how do you make a dent in unemployment when you've only got 142,000 new jobs created? >> how come it's so slow? >> there is lots of reasons why it's so slow. there has been a lot of uncertainty. there has been a lot of additional costs associated with new hires. but i think when you look, we also aren't preparing people for the work force. if you look at the unemployment rate, if you don't have a high school diploma, if you're a dropout, your unemployment rate is 50% higher than the average. it's 9.1%. compare that to a college graduate, 3.2%. so we need to have the right
3:35 pm
skills. just because you're a college graduate doesn't mean you're going to get the right job. but the i understand kind of jobs like engineer, nursing. but you look at system developers. they typically make about $90,000 a year and this is a great growth area for jobs, over a million of them in this country. >> a lot of people say, companies, they don't know what the tax rate is going to be. they see uncertainty in washington. they're concerned about obamacare. there is trillions of dollars on the side lines that corporations have parked off the side. that's not helping us at all. if you're young, you just graduated from college, you're trying to get the first thing -- >> you probably won't get your dream job the first time out. particularly if you didn't pick the right major. if you're a philosophy major, you're going to have trouble. there is not many want ad jobs for philosophy majors. if you're a professor of philosophy, i hope that you're talking to your students about what kind of jobs they're going to get because even plato would have a hard time getting a job
3:36 pm
in this environment. >> you could say liberal arts education rounds you out. that's the whole purpose. you have those four years, or in some case five years, to become a round, educated person, to then be able to deal with whatever job you have. >> that's why the government does these statistics at age 25. they give recent college graduates a couple of years to settle in. many go back. my own daughter did that. she went back because she didn't graduate with a degree that she wanted to use. so she had to go back and get a different kind of education to become valuable and of course, it worked out for her, as it works out for many people of the just 'cause you finish college, if you don't have an engineering degree doesn't mean you can't do something. you can still about did back to school and get more education. >> what about for the rest of us? middle aged, you've been in the job, suddenly it shuts down or get furloughed, what do you do? >> you are a learning animal. you have to remain a learning animal. things are so different. those of us who worked for decades now, you have to maintain your education.
3:37 pm
the kinds of tools we use are so drastically different. if you sat in that job and said, i don't want to learn anything. i just want to go o work, collect my paycheck and go home, well, when you lose your job, you're in trouble. if you're the kind of person that goes out there and continues to be educated, whether it be the education that your employer might be offering a or whether you're going back to the local community college or your local university to keep yourself educated, those are the people at all ages that can still find jobs. >> sounds like who moved my cheese. >> it is. >> how to adapt as best you can. >> absolutely. but be careful about how much you borrow to do it. >> we'll do that next week. >> okay. thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. a teen allegedly setting her home on fire while her mother and little brother are sleeping. police say it's connected to that fictional horror figure, slender man. is this sadly another case? and the white house now saying the president will not act on immigration until after the
3:38 pm
november elections. what does this mean for the mid terms? that's coming up next.
3:39 pm
3:40 pm
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
3:41 pm
3:42 pm
police in florida say a teen was obsessed with the fictional horror character slender man, so she set her house on fire while her moyer and little brother were sleeping. they both escaped. the 14-year-old soaked a towel and a bed sheet with bleach and rum before cops say she set it on fire. she has been charged with one count of arson and two counts of attempted murder. police also say an obsession inspired two wisconsin 12-year-old girls to try and stab their friend to death last may. one of those young defendants was recently found incompetent to stand trial. president obama deciding not to take executive action on immigration before the november elections despite his earlier vow to do so by the end of
3:43 pm
summer. white house officials say action before the mid terms would politicize the issue and they add the president still plans to act before the end of the year, but will all this impact the elections? we have susan estridge. good to see you. >> good to see you, art. >> thanks. you tell me what's behind the president's move? >> politics. one word. you want two words? the midterm election. i was talking to eric last week and we were joking about -- not joking, but the democrats are in trouble and as much as my democratic friends are trying to sound positive and upbeat, the reality is the democrats stand a very strong chance of losing the senate and if they lose the senate, it's going to be because of states like north carolina and louisiana.
3:44 pm
you can do the list, right? it ain't going to be california that's going to cost them. so you're looking at tough races for democrats in states where immigration reform is a highly politicized issue, where democrats could actually lose votes. so i think what you're seeing is a totally political decision based on the realities of midterm politics so that at least if the democrats lose, no one can say, well, we lost because obama insisted on doing immigration reform and that cost us key votes in these swing republican-leaning states. >> but if the idea is to protect vulnerable dems running for the senate in those red states, could the president pivot backfire on the party as a whole with immigration advocates? >> yep. it could. so see, that's the other piece of the game, because immigration
3:45 pm
advocates and the immigration issue written large on the -- obama owes his election and reelection to the votes of african-americans and hispanics and other minorities, many of whom favor immigration reform. but when you look at a midterm, you're not looking at the whole picture. you're looking at, all right, what's going on. >> slices of the pie. not the whole pie. >> exactly right. and the slices are different than the whole pie. >> that's true. in a rose garden speech on june 30, the president said that he had directed homeland security secretary, as well as attorney general eric holder, to give him recommendations for executive action by the end of the summer. the president also pledged to adopt those recommendations without further delay. so does that mean the president
3:46 pm
is ignoring advice from two critical offices on this issue? >> no. it means that he's taking advice from political leadership, congressional leadership. means he's listening to some of these democratic candidates who we were talking last week, they don't want him in the state. this week they not only don't want him in the state, they don't want him mucking about policy wide in a way that could hurt them. and let's be honest, if the democrats lose the senate, which they may very well do, that means all he's going to be able to do for the next two years is executive action. so at that point, i was interested to hear him say he'll do it after the election. at that point he can take executive action, congress will do nothing, and in the next election, you'll hear democrats say, it's all congress' fault. the republicans fault that we haven't had immigration reform. the vote will get tougher next
3:47 pm
