that is just unheard of. >> we're your island oasis for conservativism, lib tarrism and free market capitalism. have a great weekend, everybody. warnings of a new terror threat at this hour. our embassy in uganda putting out an emergency warning, saying the al shabab terrorist cell is planning what's being described as an imminent attack there, which some believe may be retaliation for u.s. air strike, that killed the group's leader last week. this, against the backdrop of u.s. efforts to seize the offensive in its bid to destroy isis as president obama maps out his strategy. what will congress do, give the president a blank check or will it push for a declaration of war. you'll hear from two top lawmakers. chairman ed royce and ranking

member edngel. also, senator mccain. you will also hear from a heart broken parents of slain journalist james foley and disturbing revelations about how they learned about their son's death and why they want to help other hostage families. >> we don't want any american family to go through what the sotloffs and we have. and, you know, there are still hostages there. we hope we can begin a dialogue. >> also at this the hour, a search under way in the vast western pacific ocean for a missing navy pilot whose jet crashed yesterday. we'll have the very latest on those rescue efforts. hello, everybody. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capital starts right now. and we begin with this fox news alert. on a massive search under way at this hour to find the suspects tied to an ambush that has

killed one pennsylvania state trooper and leaving another wounded. all this happening at a police barracks in the rural northeast region of that state, bordering new jersey and new york. >> that individual who perpetrated this heinous crime is still at large. we do not have the description. or any real information on their identity. we're covering a number of leads right now. >> now, one of those leads appeared to be a man police have interviewed as a person of interest. that ambush happening around 11:00 last night, just as troopers were about to make a shift change. the injured officer now in stable condition at an area hospital. police from the tristate area are asking for help from the public for any information on who's behind this attack. >> and now to another fox news alert. a brand-new terror threat from

the terror group al shabab. an emergency message just released by the u.s. embassy in uganda, warning u.s. citizens living there to use extreme caution after ugandan authorities discover al shabab terrorist cell in the capital city of kampala. and they're saying that they are planning an imminent attack. the epbase says at this point, though, they were not aware of any specific targets. this comes less than a week after ahmed abdi godane, the co-founder of al shabab, was killed in an american air strike in somalia, the terror group's home base. these reports of an al shabab terror cell adding to the ongoing threats from isis and al qaeda, creating more urgency for a clear plan to counter these terror threats. in his weekly address, the president once again saying he believes we need a coalition to fight back, saying, quote, this can't be america's fight alone. >> what's needed now is a targeted relentless

counterterrorism campaign against isil that combines america's air poushwer, contributions from allies and more support to those fighting the terrorists on the ground and that's exactly what we're doing. >> but is this the right way to go? what about congress? if congress continues to led the president proceed with military action without explicit authorization, will he be getting a blank check to move ahead? joining us, the the two top lawmakers on the house foreign affairs committee. gentlemen, welcome, great to see you. congressman royce, before we get to that, let me ask you if you have any more details about the reuters report saying there's an imminent threat to our embassy in uganda and american citizens there. >> well, remember, one of the concerns we have about al shabab is they've been doing recruiting out of minneapolis, so you do have americans with u.s. passports fighting for this terror organization. they had shown their capability

in attacking the westgate mall. and now their focus is on uganda because uganda is an ally with the united states in this war on terror, on these al qaeda affiliates. so, yes, we need to be prepared, and it's good we've got some lead on the organization. but at the same time, we really need to be following those americans who are leaving with passports because they might return to the united states to avenge godane's death, who is the leader of this organization that we killed a little more than a week ago. >> now, to congress and the fight against isis. the president says he can go it alone without congress if he wants, but would like congressional support for his strategy against isis. i know there are several members who are introducing legislation to authorize the use of military force. do you believe congress needs to do this, and if so, can politics be set aside? congressman engel?

>> well, i hope politics can be set aside. i believe it will be set aside. we're all americans. we have to protect our homeland. there's really two issues here. one, the president believes that he has the authority without congress to continue to do what he's been doing to isis in iraq and in syria. air strikes or drone strikes or things like that. when it comes to asking for a training operation to train and arm vetted sir yn rebels, there, he has to ask congress' assent and that's been his position. my view is, he can initially invoke the war powers act and so he doesn't initially need congress' assent but it would be better to have it. let me just say, i'm glad he's

doing that. i supported doing that two years ago. i think this is something that's a good thing in the direction we're moving. >> chairman royce, there may be little appetite for some lawmakers, including a number of democrats, that would get the u.s. engaged in a war. that's why we're hearing many don't want to vote right now because they're facing tough re-election bids with the upcoming midterms and they don't want to be tied to a vote that gives the okay for military force. do you believe the congress must act before members leave town for the campaigning and shouldn't we see real leadership here? >> one of the reasons i've scheduled a hearing next week in this upcoming week with the secretary of state is so we can have the secretary of state flush out the details of this plan, so i and my ranking member, elliott engel, and others, can press the administration so that we see what additional authority is needed as we move forward. certa certainly, there's some questions here that we need

answered to. we would like to see saudi arabia, kuwait, the uae, pay for this, because, frankly, you know, their necks are on the block in terms of isis and isis' attempt to overthrow those regimes. so they should be stepping forward. they are providing training bases. how about troops? how about paying for this? how about their aircraft joining some of the nato aircraft in the air that's going to support the u.s. effort? another point is cutting off terror finance. what are we doing to make certain that the oil money controlled now by isil is not gaining them more hard currency from other countries in the region. there's going to have to be legislation to address this. lastly, what are we going to do to help the peshmerga forces, including those women and those battalions out there, fighting against isil, how will we get them the weapons and other forces that are fighting isil? because so far, they don't have the anti-tank weapons.

they don't have the artillery they need. as you know, they're seeing the situation today where many of those isil fighters are refusing to engage turkish women in these battalions. they're afraid if they're killed, they won't go to paradise, and the women have been mocking them for this, but they're on the front fighting and they're saying we don't have the equipment we really need to push them back. let's get them that equipment. congress will have to address that issue. >> i hear you, but what about getting a vote before they break away for campaigning for the midterms? do you think that's going to happen? >> i think we will have votes on a number of these issues. the quote will be the scope and that's something we'll debate next week when we go back. we'll start that debate in our foreign afairs committee. >> i'd like you to respond with the fact the president wants to put a coalition together. we don't have major allies at this point like england going along with this. as far as the middle east, we talk about turkey, which is the

best equipped to help out there. but there are reports that turkey doesn't want us to use their military bases for air strikes in syria or iraq. when this kind of thing happens, do you think the united states has to use real pressure, like chairman royce is pointing out, to make these countries understand that if you don't help, don't expect to put our men and women on the line to protect you? >> well, i agree with chairman royce. this has to be a coalition. this cannot be the united states once again trying to impose its will on middle eastern country. look, terrorists are terrorists. you just spoke about the al shabab terrorists. whether they're al shabab or hamas or hezbollah, they're all cut from the same cloth. they use terror to try to gain political goals. and the whole world has a stake in it. i hope that congress, to answer your question before, will vote this coming week on a continuing

resolution which keeps the government funding. that seems to be the easiest way of voting moneys to train and equip syrian rebels. i absolutely believe there has to be a coalition and the arab states really need to be involved. saudi arabia has agreed, we're told, to allow the training of the syrian forces, the rebels on their soil, and this has got to be a broad based coalition. our allies in europe are a lot closer to the middle east geographically than we are. i think the entire nato alliance is really hanging in the balance. we have to show that nato is relevant and can do the kind of things we need it to do. it can't be the united states alone. >> absolutely. the stakes remain high, gentlemen. we will look forward to hearing what develops out of next week's hearing. we appreciate you joining us today and we'll be checking back with you as events warrant.

>> we're learning more from the heart broken parents of journalist james foley and they're saying no one in the white house informed them of their son's death. they learned about it after a journalist called to see if they have seen the news on tv. this, as they desperately waited for news about their son and his captors. now, more on this. >> foley's parents say they were threatened with prosecution by the united states government if they tried to secure their son's release from isis. this was all coming out in an interview with greta van susteren "on the record." a number of countries reportedly paid millions of dollars to get their citizens back from isis but it's been long-standing u.s. policy not to pay ransoms. there were some communiques to his parents and they said they were open to negotiation. >> we finally said, whatever, if

we go to jail, we go to jail. we're going to try to raise money on a humanitarian basis. we started sending more frequent e-mails. we established this other e-mail just for that purpose. >> here at the state department, that we did not and would not ever do anything, particularly intend to or do anything we think we would consider threatening. i don't want to disagree directly with a family that is going through an incredible pain. >> greta's interview with the parents continues monday night "on the record" with part two of that record at 7:00 eastern. the interview is shining light on the pentagon's public disclosure of its failed rescue attempt in july to free foley among other isis hostages. sources tell fox news since the disclosure isis has changed its

tactics and split up its remaining hostages. the pentagon says it regrets having to disclose the information but circumstances at the time a couple weeks ago dictated that they do so. disturbing news from the cia, saying we've severely underestimated the scope and size of isis and new intelligence shops the terror army is actually three times the size of those initial reports saying the group had no more than 10,000 fighters. no doubt, this will have a big impact on our military strategy, with some lawmakers, like senator john mccain, saying as long as isis seizes more territory, it will continue to grow and attract more followers. earlier, i spoke with the senator about the challenges we're facing right now. >> well, first of all, it's not too surprising, because we have had, and i have had information that, because of their success, they have been attracting men, particularly young men, in some cases, women, from all over the world, particularly from all

over the middle east. so, their success has been a huge magnet for young people who have been indoctrinated by radical islam. so now what do we need to do? i think we need to understand the enormity of the challenge. it's going to take a lot more boots there on the ground. not american combat forces such as the 82nd airborne. but forward air controllers and intelligence people and drones and a lot of other capabilities. finall finally, when he says this situation -- when the president says that this is like somalia and yemen, that means the president doesn't understand the dimensions of the challenge. >> because a lot of people have been very surprised by those remark s from the speech earlie this week saying those two campaigns were not successful at all. >> they were not successful, and they are terrorist organizations which, over time, can be contained. isis has to be destroyed.

otherwise, they are a direct threat to the united states of america. now, whether it is a credible immediate threat, i'm getting a little tired of that argument. because the fact is that on twitter and on facebook, isis is encouraging people to come to the united states and attack it. unfortunately, our southern border is not secure. and that poses a long-term danger. >> i wanted to bring that up because i didn't hear anything in the speech this week from the president about beefing up the borders. and i was very concerned about this, as are others, because there are reports, as you pointed out, that people are already coming over to the united states, crossing the border. do you think congress has to push harder in this session to push for action to beef up the borders right now? >> well, i wish we would. and, as you know, i'm one of the architects of comprehensive immigration reform. because of this threat and because of the children showing u on our border, because of the

insecurity, i believe we have to get a 90% effective control of our border, 100% awareness, and we can do that within a couple of years. >> much has been said over the last few days of john kerry's view that we are not at war with isis, calling this a counterterrorism operation. why the reluctance to call it war, if the aim is to destroy isis? >> i have no idea, except to say i think it's pretty obvious that isis believes they're in a war against us. remember, baghdadi, their leader, when he left our camp buqqah prison camp, he said "see you in new york." there's no doubt what their intentions are. it's the fecklessness of this administration in facing up to the terrorist threat posed by isis, in particular, the

comparison with somalia and yemen, the reluctance on arming and equipping the free syrian army. >> let me talk to you about the coalition the president's trying to put together. kes spite efforts to proclaim there's going to be a strong coalition and allies working with the u.s., key players lees offering lukewarm support to the president's expanding military campaign. what impact, going forward, is this going to have? >> it's got a huge credibility problem, and that is when he announced to one and all and had in fact, some of these countries ready to strike syria with us over the issue of chemical weapons where he said, by the way, if they crossing the red line, he would strike them and announced he was going to strike them. and then reversed, that had a huge impact on these countries in the region.

the fact is, a little straight talk, they don't trust us. they don't trust us to follow through. they're probably not satisfied with the president's statements in his speech, particularly relating isis to yemen and somalia. >> let me ask you really quickly about the free syrian army. there's a lot of folks who are very concerned that arming this opposition group will lead to further concerns because how do you trust the current crop of people who are part of this army, how do you know it's okay to give military hardware at a time when it remay remains uncl what their long-term motives are? who's going to vet them? >> i've vetted a number of them because i know them. it's just an excuse not to act to say these people are not to be trusted. look, they've been -- they've been -- i can't tell you what they have been through. the hundreds and even thousands of them that have been killed

and slaughtered with these barrel bombs and tortured to death by bashar assad. they can be trusted. there are groups of them to be trusted. they aren't as good as they used to be because of our failure to help them. and they can be vetted. and we can do it quickly. and obviously, there are some risks. but what's our other option here? if someone who says they can't -- don't want to do it because we can't trust the free syrian army, then what is your option, sir and ma'am, to how we're going to attack isis in an effective fashion? by the way, they got to be able to attack bashar assad as well who is working with the iranians to destroy them. >> and our thanks to senator mccain. our latest fox news poll asks, if president obama is prepared to do whatever it takes to defeat islamic extremists. just 39% say he is, compared to 54% who say he's not.

now, it's time to hear from you. we would like to know if you feel the president's efforts to mobilize a more aggressive strategy against isis is being driven by politics and poll numbers or a genuine effort to destroy isis. tweet me your thoughts. i want to hear your feedback and i'm definitely going to read some of your responses later in our show. still ahead, on the heels of the ray rice debacle, the nfl in another troubling spotlight as another nfl player now faces abuse charges. we will tell you who it is and the impact this is having on the nfl's image. a live report coming up. plus -- >> what is our end goal, you know, what is going to happen to the people when we leave. >> lessons learned from the fall of saigon 40 years ago and what we can take away from that moment to today's current conflicts. our conversation with filmmaker rory kennedy about her latest documentary.

one of the pilots ejected safely and, at this hour, in fair condition. the f/a-18 hornets had taken off from the air carrier "uss carl vinson." an nfl player indicted for abuse. now, more on this story. >> yes, another nfl player in hot water over acts of violence. minnesota viking, running back adrian peterson turning himself in in the early hours of this morning, after he was indicted on a charge of child abuse for using a branch to spank his son. well, this was peterson late on friday, just hours before he went to the montgomery county sheriff's office in texas. shocking photos of his son's alleged injuries have since

emerged online but the sheriff says peterson met the criteria for relief. peterson's attorney saying this, adrian a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son. he used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in east texas. adrian never intended to harm his son and he deeply regrets the unintentional injury. fans reacted with surprise at yet another violent incident involving an nfl player. >> that's unbelievable. you just want to think he would be the kind of guy that wouldn't do that. >> the nfl after the rice situation is probably going to look at it maybe more seriously than they would have otherwise. >> it's been a hell of a week for the nfl. under intense scrutiny for its handling of other cases.

welcome back, everybody. secretary of state john kerry in egypt at this hour, trying to build a coalition against the terror group isis. while here in washington, mixed messages continue to come out of the white house on how to deal with the islamic extremists. molly heninburg joining us now with the very latest on this story. >> the cia estimates the islamic terror group isis or isil has nearly doubled in size this summer. white house and pentagon officials both said yesterday that the u.s. is at war with isis, but today in his weekly radio, weekly address, president obama did not call it a war. >> what's needed now is a targeted relentless counterterrorism campaign against isil that combines american air power, contributions from allies and partners and more support to forces that are fighting these

terrorists on the ground. and that's exactly what we're doing. we're moving ahead with our campaign of air strikes against these terrorists and we're prepared to take action against isil in syria as well. >> the battle is against isis, a quote, very significant counterterrorism operation. kerry's in eyipt today working on a coalition to help fight isis. the state department says the broader effort to go after the group that beheaded two american journalists is not part of the war on terrorism. but some republicans argue that the back and forth within the obama administration diminishes the actual threat. >> how hard is it to say that we are at war with terrorists? we're at war with isis. we're at war with islamic jihad. this is a legitimate threat. it truly does rise to the level of a clear and present danger. and we've got a president going to the dictionary to see if he

can find a better word for "war." >> today, president obama saying the intelligence community has not yet picked up specific threats to the homeland from isis but its leaders have threatened to hit america and so we must remain vigilant. the midterm elections are not far away. just around the corner. so now, here are some of the major stories on the campaign trail we're covering. as we head towards those elections, senator mary landrieu is saying sloppy bookkeeping is to blame for using federal money to pay for charter flights that included campaign stops and now she's apologizing. she's paying back -- she says she's paying back the government nearly $34,000 for those trips which date back to 2002. the louisiana democrat is currently facing several challengers in one of the most competitive senate races in the country. and new jersey government chris christie making a campaign trip of his own, lending some

my mom was just, you know, wow, symbolically it was like the first step on to not american soil but american freedom. >> a new documentary that's just out shares an incredible story of heroes who were part of a dramatic moment in u.s. history. as the end of the vietnam war neared and the city of saigon fell. well-known filmmaker rory kennedy is behind this new project. i had a chance to speak with her while she was here in d.c. for

the film's opening. >> we think we know the story, but, in fact, so many of us don't know what happened and it was such a dramatic period of time, particularly those last 24 hours. the country fell much quicker than we had anticipated. seeiaigon was falling much fast than people expected. and it got really chaotic. our film really focuses on what happened on the ground during those days. we only interview people who were there in saigon or in washington, like kissinger, helping to make the policies. >> fascinating that the plans to evacuate were pushed off to the 11th hour. i think a lot of people would be surprised by that. >> a lot of people don't know either, what had happened, there had been a plan put in place for an evacuation plan, put in place in case they had to evacuate. but the ambassador who was really in the position of green lighting that evacuation plan refused to accept that saigon

was falling. he had lost his son in the war and he was very attached to preserving south vietnam as it was when he arrived there. so he refused to acknowledge that the country was falling. so what happened was these american service men who were there started working under the radar of the ambassador, and involving themselves in these black ops, of getting vietnamese out of the country on air cargo planes, any means possible. >> some were reluctant to come forward with accounts of what happeneded that fateful day. was it difficult for them to relive those moments? >> i think it is. the larger story of course is we as americans abandoned our south vietnamese allies. it was, you know, it was not our proudest hour. and to know that we were leaving on helicopters that only fit 40 or 50 people and there was no

way we would get all of them out was a tragic moment. they knew in leaving them behind, they were going to face peril because of, in part, because of their association with the americans. >> the footage that we see is footage that we have not seen widely used before. >> yes, and some of it has never been seen before. we were very lucky. there was a guy, dan lecero, who worked on the ship the "uss kirk" which played a significant role in the evacuation, and he was -- he had been up in his attic a few months before we started the filming of this and had come across a box of canisters of super 8 undeveloped footage. another stoextraordinary story a family who were in a chinook and they couldn't land because it was too large. the pilot had his children on board, be cluding an 8-month-old, a 2-year-old, a 5-year-old. he opened the door of the

helicopter and threw his family, 18 feet up high, on to the deck of the "uss kirk," is moving seven knots, throws them overboard, and the people on board catch each and every one of his children. i think there are many stories like that in the film that nobody's seen before. i certainly didn't know them. it's exciting for me to be able to share it with audiences now. >> 40 years later, you can step back and take a real critical view, but also a view that takes a look at some of the mistakes, and perhaps with time some things heal and perhaps a better understanding as to how these events all came together. >> because we have had these 40 years that people are, you know, i hope that this film is a pretty even handed account. and that we can then look at this as really a kind of pure document of what happened and understand it and as we're now making decisions about taking on

isis and getting further -- further involved in iraq and other places and as we're, you know, trying to extract ou ourselves from iraq and afghanistan at the same time, what are our responsibilities to those questions. what is our end goal, you know, what is going to happen to the people when we leave, because that's a significant question that the film asks. >> a powerful documentary indeed. a window on history. now, the documentary is rolling out in select theaters and will also air on pbs come april. incredible beautiful images from nasa, including a solar flare, as you can see here. those flareses could cause some stree serious problems on earth. more of that in a moment. believe it or not, we're celebrating 200 years. we're going to talk with historian mark ferris with some fascinating notes on history you may not know about. stay with us.
