always entertaining and informative. that's going to do it for us. >> thank you for watching. a complain flashback all the way to 2008. hillary clinton back in the hawkeye state for the first type since her failed race for the white house. officially she is in iowa to fund raise but unofficially puts

more fuel on the speculation fire that she is planning a second run. america's news headquarters live from the nation's capit starts right now. we will had hunt down those responsible and bring them to justice no matter how long it takes. >> in the wake of the beheading of david hains, britain's prime minister is vowing to work with allies to defeat isis. the islamic state terrorist releasing a third video this weekend showing the execution of the 44-year-old aid worker who was kidnapped in syria last year. joining us from london, senior foreign affairs correspondent amy kellogg. >> reporter: hi, shannon. well, prime minister david cameron said that he thinks of islam as a religion of peace but he said these people are noth!vt muslims. they are monsters. monsters to kill someone like david hains who was only in a dangerous place like syria to help those in need. hains today is being remembered for the many lives he touched.

his brother called him "just a regular bloke" and a proud father and added they were raised by their parents to know right from wrong. but david hains was far from a regular guy. he worked in the royal air force as an engineer before getting involved in a life of humanitarian work in places most of us wouldn't dare venture. prime minister cameron hustled back to london late last night when he got the news of hains' death. he met with his cabinet ministers, one of the pillars of his plan for eradicating isis is making sure to support an iraqi governme government. australia's prime minister tony abbott in the wake of hains' murder committing ten military planes and 600 troops to the coalition to fight the terrorists. it is not clear what their role will be yet. it is likely an advisory role, not a combat one, but still that is a pretty strong show of support. finally isis threatening to kill yet another british aid worker

if all of this fight against isis continues. so the stakes are high and the urgency is also at an all-time high. >> absolutely. amy, thank you very much. the execution of hains ratchets up the isis threat yet another level, possibly sparking new motivation for the u.s. and its allies to strike back. the president this week laid out his vision for doing that and is now though facing growing criticism for not going far enough. >> this counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out isil wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partners forces on the ground. >> it is going to take an army to beat an army, and this idea we'll never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in syria is fantasy. >> what klt u.s. military do now in a limited way and how critical is it to build what the administration's been calling a broad coalition? let's bring in fox news military analyst and former vice chief of the army, retired general jack

keene. general, good to see you today. let's talk about this. there is there debate offense air strikes, the coalition that would support on the ground, who we're going to arm on the ground. so many questions. but in looking at the official list of people who have weighed in as being part of this coalition, it looks pretty scant at this point. with a kinda8qgf of coalition d need to be successful in this mission to get rid of isis? >> first of all, the president's overall strategy i think is sound to destroy isis and the general framework in support of that i think is sound. when we get into the details, that's when you start to see that maybe this is not quite enough. first of all the coalition that you suggest, we need all the regional players within reason to participate. what we truly need out of europe and the region is not just moral support, but actual real military capabilities. i think that's why he's asked general john allen, retired marine corps general, very experienced, to come in here and give him a hand with putting that together. >> how difficult is it for arab

states in that area to sign on to a u.s.-led plan when they face very real threats? is it a motivating factor for them to get on board with us or is the growing threat more of an incentive for them to stay quiet, to lay low under the radar and try to find some way to co-exist? is that possible? >> i think they recognize the imposing threat that isis is to the region and to their own state. so they're going to participate for that reason. they do have some skepticism about the united states. they watched us walk away from i air strikes in syria and iraq. they have concerns about libya. >> about air strikes in syria the president has said he has the authority. we'll talk about that a little bit more with our next guest, about whether congress has to get involved. he seems to suggest that if he decides to go into syria, he's got the authority, he's going to do it. what do you think the timeline is for that, is it critical that

that starts sooner rather than later? isis has quite a stronghold and feels very comfortable there. >> i think part of your commitment in resolve and determination is aggressiveness. i would have liked to see the president as he made his announcement about the strategy on wednesday night that a bombing begin that night. i think it would have taken isis off guard. i do believe that the air campaign that's taking place in iraq now will be expanded,mkúñ also we should expand immediately into syria. he does not need congressional authorization for that. i'll leave it to him whether he thinks he should get that or not. but the fact of the matter from a military perspective, we should be bombing syria and iraq simultaneously now. >> is there anything short of that, a complete all-out assault and destruction of this group? today we see this third video released of an innocent aid worker. this wasn't even somebody in uniform. it wasn't a soldier. they seem to take great delight not only in these executions but in broadcasting them and making sure that the world sees them.

it seems that they have a death wish essentially. is there anything short of complete annihilation of this group that will make us safe. >> no, we have to go after them and destroy them. they are using these barbaric executions and murders clearlyb as tools of humiliation. we have americans and brits kneeling down being beheaded in front of the entire world. they use it also for propaganda. but the key element of the plan that the president has that will in fact begin to destroy isis is the ground campaign and that is the part of the plan that is at most risk and the one that most of us when we look at have the greatest concern about. >> it is going to take a lot of relationship building and cooperation there. all right, general, always good to see you. thank you so much for your insight. america is speaking out on the fights against isis. we've got a new fox news poll, this one of registered voters. in that poll 51% believe it is

going to take boo ground to ultimately defeat isis. 27% believe the mission can be accomplished with just air strikes. 22% say they don't know. we want to know your thoughts. what do you think at home? will u.s. air strikes and local boots on the ground be enough to destroy isis? tweet us your response. the constitution's very clear, they debated this in the beginning. hamilton as well as madison are very explicit in the federalist papers. they say we gave the war making power to congress because we wanted to make it difficult to go to war. now this is an intervention -- and i don't always support intervention, but this one i do support. i think the president would be more powerful, the country will be more united. he should have come before a joint session of congress, laid out his plan, as he did tonight, then called for an up or down vote whether or not to authorize

the war. >> that was senator rand paul, of course republican this week talking to sean hannity about whether president obama should go to congress to get approval for his military plan against isis. we are bringing in now former indiana senator, fox news contributor evan bayh into this conversation. senator, good to see you today. >> good to be with you, shannon. >> having been on the other side of this when it was playing out with president george w. bush, my remembrance is that you voted initially to authorize action in iraq, not supportive of the surge though. but how important is it that congress be the ones making these decisions if we're going into what many are calling a war, those there is some semantics and massaging going on at the white house. >> presidents of both parties have concluded they are stronger off if they do go to congress and get the legislative branches of government's approval. this is likely to be a complex,

difficult and sometimes controversial undertaking. so it is a lot better for all in it together if there's been a consensus for it rather than just the president going off on his own. >> the last time this played out with president obama was the issue of syria, the red line, the build-up to what looked like it was going to be a congressional vote that may not support him. how does that now play against where we are with isis? >> well, thinks have changed. you are right, the president looked like he wanted to go forward. then there wasn't public support for that. parliament voted against the prime minister's recommendation there and so that made the president look weak and as the general indicated, it's had bad repercussions with our allies across the region. what's changed is these terrible beheadings. the obvious example, this terrible group gaining so much momentum and power. looks like it shifted american opinion. congressmen read polls. if the public is now understanding this is really a threat to our country, then in an appropriate way we do need to be strong and do something about this, the votes in congress may very well be there for this whereas previously there have

not been. >> a letter from more than 100 members on the house side went over to the president in july and said we write to urge respect for the constitutional requirements for using force abroad. the constitution -- to authorize offensive military action abroad. it does seem in recent weeks there is growing plenty of bipartisan support. a number of members saying come to us, we're going to give the white house this, mr. president. why not take that step? what would be the hesitancy? it would seem to telegraph both domestically and internationally a lot of very critical support for the president should he decide to do that. >> my guess is the president will. it looks like the republican leaders have been willing to be supportive. the democrats may have some respiteness, for lack of a better term, anti-war left but will support their president. i think they should and will once they've counted votes. it does take some time. congress likes to micromanage. it is hard to micromanage a war. it is not the easiest course but in this case if he is successful

it will make him stronger around the likelihood of our success greater. >> there's some talk on the house there may be votes this week that would break this into pieces. talking about a funding measure that needs to be done to keep the government going. there is funding for whoever we're going to vet on the ground, if that's what we're going to do, and move ahead and make sure we equip those people. seems like house wants a lit more control about how those pieces are voted on and come together. >> well, congress is a co-equal branch of government. having been here, these people are not without some kind of ego. they want to be consulted, they want to be considered. they like to micromanage sometimes. but ultimately it is the commander in chief who has to be in charge of the operation. i'm not surprised the house would want to break this up into different votes. it may be they need to do that to get to votes. the important thing is that the president be successful, he get the authorization. he can then go forward from a very strong position because this is going to be long, complex and difficult. >> congress has a lot to do if the short amount of time they

have. this would certainly appear priority number one. >> the good news is with an election coming up, they probably want to get this out of the way and go back home to campaign. >> senator, thanks for coming in. north korea has sentenced a 24-year-old american man to six years of hard labor. after a 90-minute trial. matthew miller was convicted of entering the communist state illegally and trying to commit espionage. when the california tourist arrived in pyongyang last april, he said he wanted to experience prison life so he could report on human rights abuses. two other americans are being held in north korea. jeffrey fowler awaiting trial and kenneth bei serving a 15-year sentence. we are just 50 days away from the mid-term elections and with democrats looking to hold on to the senator, hillary clinton is in iowa kicking off a fall of fund-raising for what many believe could be her 2016

run for the white house. she's set to attend tom harkin's state fry fund-raiser. great to see you on the trail, carl. >> hi, shannon. it's not a belief by democrats that hillary clinton's going to run for president. for most of us it is an expectation, a foregone conclusion, a hoe or a fear. hillary clinton's last time she came to iowa was back in 2008 and last time she was here was the night that she came in third in the iowa caucuses, having led the polls across the country for many, many months, barack obama up-ended her, beat her here. john edwards actually came in second. she was third. ultimately many say the defeat here is what ultimately crippled her campaign in 2008. there's really not much doubt she's running for president. her book tour earlier this year made international headlines. her aides, the ready for hillary super pac. she and bill clinton will be at

harkin steak fry. harkin, the retiring u.s. senator, has been doing this for nearly 40 years. it's presidential importance really began when tom harkin declared his own presidential candidacy at his own steak fry back in the 1992 race against bill clinton. harkin has greeted hillary clinton here and he'll be hosting her and squiring her about the picnic today. but he's done so with some rather critical remarks sucking he's not exactly sure where she stands on some key issues. she's concerned that the democratic party has moved too far to the right of center and that he, tom harkin, a liberal democrat, very much an anti-war dove, wants to know specifically where she stands on some issues facing the country like the president's determination to bomb isis in syria. these are things that hillary clinton and barack obama have disagreed on over the years when she was secretary of state, she took some differing views about international military use of force. so here she comes today with tom harkin on her arm, and she on his. it is worth noting that as all this happens and people are

wondering when hillary clinton will formally declare her candidacy, there's another democrat in iowa today, vermont u.s. senator bernie sanders. an independent who caucuses with democrats but offense the years has referred to himself as a socialist. he says he, too, is considering a white house run and far to hillary clinton's left, he represents just an inkling of the types of challenges and criticism and questions that she'll face from liberal democrats who think, as they did in 2007 or 2008, she may be a little more conservative, a little too mainstream to win over the caucuses here in iowa. the mid-terms are less than seven weeks away and hillary clinton is on the campaign trail effectively for both. >> i prefer what looks like a beautiful day there for you. september in iowa to when you and i were there in january. enjoy. >> enjoy your envy, shannon. dozens of candidates cross-country are blanketing the entire country with a handful of weekend left before judgment day

suspects responsible for killing a state trooper andh>+; woundin another on sprooid night. what we know right now is very little. we don't know how. le. suspects there are. we have no description. we don't even noah kind of weapon was used. what we do know is that law enforcement is interviewing and looking at hundreds of persons of interest and they believe that the state police was specifically targeted in this attack. on friday night at 10:50 p.m., two state troopers were ambushed here in pike county, pennsylvania in blooming grove. bloominggrove state police barracks, in a heavily wooded area surrounded by state hunting ground. corporal brian dixon was shot and killed on scene and trooper alex douglas was wounded and at last check is in stable but critical condition in a hospital in stanton, pennsylvania. what we do know about corporal dixon, he was a seven-year veteran of the pennsylvania state troopers. he has a wife and two young boys. also we also know that there are troopers, according to local

media reports, outside of dixon's home, perhaps protecting it. we don't know whether or not these troopers were specifically targeted in this attack. today we have new video actually right outside of the barracks, across the street, showing more than a dozen heavily armed in camouflage gear state troopers across the street from where the shooting took place. it looked as though from our camera that they were pointing their guns towards the barracks trying to see perhaps where the shots came from. also looking on the ground, perhaps for any evidence or shells. now they said that along the immediate area of the manhunt is clear. they don't believe the suspect is anywhere in the immediate area. but we spoke to locals and they say they are still worried. >> i've never seen so many state troopers at one time here. ever. >> we're all concerned about their breaking into a house. we have a lot of vacant houses back here. >> reporter: again, the state

troopers say that they don't -- when asked about surveillance video, they actually said that they have not confirmed whether or not surveillance video caught the actual ambush on tape. wives here in pike county of other state troopers started a veritable fund online for the victims' family as the manhunt continues here in eastern pennsylvania. >> bryan, thank you very much. less than two months until the mid-terms and candidates around the country are making the final push. a look at what could hip the senate balance power in just minutes. plus, combat operations against isis. what is the state of play after the third westerner is beheaded on camera. here's an angry white house. >> we're obviously outraged at the behavior and we have made clear our determination to make sure that we're taking every step possible to protect our people. >> we'll look at how other newsmakers are reacting this morning to the news. stay with us.

the beheading of british aid worker david hains is putting sharper focus on the president's strategy for dealing with isis and raising new questions about whether it will be enough. this morning white house chief of staff denis mcdonough hit nearly all of the sunday talk shows to dechd the president's approach. >> in the interviews, denis mcdonough confirmed the beheading of a third aid worker. mcdonough reiterated that the president's strategy to combat isis does not involve boots on the ground but that doesn't necessarily distract from their goal to destroy the terror group. >> i think we've been pretty clear on this and we'll continue to be clear about exactly what we're going to do and how we're going to do it and the disciplined fashion in which we will carry it out to make sure

we degrade and ultimately destroy this menacing organization called isil. >> the white house also released a statement saturday condemning the murder saying "the united states stand shoulder to shoulder tonight with our close friend and allies in grief and resolve. we will work with the united kingdom and the broad coalition of nations from the region and around the world to bring perpetrators of this act to justice." some saw the white house needs to be doing more without organizing boots on the ground, they say the u.s. remains vulnerable. >> it is going to take an army to beat an army. this idea we'll never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in syria is fantasy and all of this has come home to roost over the last three years. >> just last wednesday the president addressed the nation ordering additional air strikes in iraq and syria and promising hundreds more military advisors.

a new fox news poll shows that if the mid-term elections were held today, voters would choose republican senate candidates which a pretty wide margin. but state polls don't necessarily paint the same picture. fox news digital politics editor, the man who will know the answer to this, chris stirewalt is here to explain what is going on. talk about iowa. that's one of these really key states with a tight senate race. carl cameron is there. hillary clinton is there. i don't think they are together but they are both at the steak fry. it is a big deal. tell us about this tight race there and how maybe the national polls in the state don't necessarily line up and why. >> we have a thing that we call the generic balance which says if it was any republican versus any democrat, who would you vote for? but there are no generic names. we saw in 2012, a remarkable thing happened. mitt romney tied or beat president obama on ef measure of what do you think about his

economic policy, his foreign policy. people agreed with mitt romney more than they agreed with barack obama but they voted for barack obama because barack obama had successfully defined his opponent as an unacceptable replacement. people said are you happy with what you have. no. the president said that's fine. but the other guy is a vampire and he shifts his money overseas and that's unacceptable. democrats are going to outspend republicans pretty substantially. right now it is very heaven. republicans hope they can catch up a little bit in the en. but democrats are dumping cash into this election to try to save the senate. in rates like iowa where it is very competitive. there's a difficult race. democrats and billionaire allies spend money attacking republicans for being bought by billionaire allies. and so it has -- the money does a double feature. it creates a perception that republicans have more money, which they don't, and it paints

senate candidates like joni earnst has somehow the hand maiden of big destroys. it helps skew numbers. people say i'd rather have a republican than a democrat, i don't like barack obama, but i don't know about this one. it is up now to republicans to fight back. >> this week uba crystal ball predicted. they moved a seat over to this column. that group's redix is worst case scenario, this would tie the senate giving the tiebreaking vote to the vice president joe biden which democrats are still in control. >> and awesome sound bites. >> yeah, he is very entertaining. >> if he has to show up for these tiebreaking votes, it could get kind of ugly. they say that's the worst case scenario. for right now 50 days out they think the gop is in good shape. a lot can happen in 50 days.

>> there's a lot of football to be played, no question about that. the reality is three states are basically gone for democrats -- west virginia, south dakota and montana. those are gone. barring cataclysmic events for republicans, they're gone. then we look at the broader map. say there were 10 or 11 other seats that are maybe at play that ranging from very tough to poll, like out in oregon, down to highly competitive like iowa. that are a coin toss right now. that includes some incumbents down in louisiana and arkansas. basically the republicans hope they are starting with three that look very strong for them. they're going to find a way to get four out of the remaining 10 or 11. so they still like their odds very much but we now get to the point of the election where the democratic cash advantage and using that obama style approach of smearing your opponent, you say he is a dirtball, you can't trust him, you may not like me but at least i'm not owned by

the koches. the ads are being bought by tom stire. >> a billionaire. we'll see which billionaire is more successful come november. thank you, chris. with fall seemingly upon us, chillier temperatures are in store for parts of the nation, including right here in d.c. this morning and i suspect in new york where are we have the forecast. >> we'll warm up next week but right now 70 if new york city. 63 cleveland. 63 minneapolis. it gets warmer the farther south you go. 87 atlanta. 87 houston and really warm for our friends across california where they will break some records or potentially break records with record setting heat. this is the area we're going to keep a close eye on because we have wildfire dangers, very dry and very warm. also watching hurricane odile,

the very first public benghazi hearing will be this wednesday on capitol hill. a special house committee has been investigating the deadly 2012 attack in benghazi that killed ambassador chris stevensens and three others. the panel includes seven republicans, five democrats, was created in may to investigate the security lapses and intelligence failures that led to the attack. let's talk about it with our political panel. angela mcgowan and cory elon.

glad to see you both. so this will be our first unveiling of what they've been up to all this time. congressman gowdy, former prosecutor, has been very methodical if this process and he's been flying under the radar. he's been very careful. he wants this to be taken seaveressly. he's been under the radar, doing homework. with a do you think we'll hear wednesday? >> i think we'll hear from very serious individuals about a very serious issue which is exactly how can we protect our ambassadors when they are serving overseas. my hope because we have serious people who are involved in this conversation this week that we'll get some real content out of it. my concern is that this is happening just the week before members of congress are going to go home to campaign for re-election. that's the only concern i have. but other than that, i hope we get some real good information out of it. >> the other new information that we've gotten the last few months is the special on benghazi where they talked to three security contractors who told a different story saying

one of them claimed that three times they wanted to go help, they were told to stand down and they finally went on their own to try to see what they could do. that changes a bit of the narrative that we heard to this point. >> it changes a bit of the narrative. i want to start by saying this delay is the worst form that leads to death and destruction. to have the commander in chief saying he has no strategy, even dealing with isis? i think sharon is right on so we know what will be in place so we don't have americans killed on foreign soil which is our land. 14 years ago you had bombings in east africa where parameters were supposed to be put in place. then you had 9/11, 2001, that we should not have lost four americans in 9/112010. that should not have happened. >> the fact that we have democrats and republicans on this committee, on this particular group, corey, does that lend some credibility to whatever they have found into those hearings or do you think

we may have minority protests where those on the committee, the five democrats versus the seven republicans, may say we don't like where this is going, we're not going to cooperate. what do you think? there is an attempt at bipartisanship here. >> that's the word -- there is an "attempt." my hope is that ultimately we have a positive outcome from this hearing and it is a win for washington. if it is a win for washington, it is a win for the american people who are just so tired of all of the non-happenings that aren't happening in washington, things that should be getting done that aren't getting done. but again it is going to be up to congressman gowdy to make sure that the tone of this conversation is the right one. >> but to say this is not a political grandstanding hearings. these hearings are. >> gowdy's going to have to conduct the tone. >> let's talk about the irs. primarily with the house

oversight, house ways and means, there's been some heat there. we've had a lot of developments over the summer. the doj, the president was outraged, doj says we're investigating. yet she tells me her clients -- if there are victims of targeting, how have they not been contacting? >> when i worked with the ways and means committee and we did hearings with the irs, they invited both sides to tell their story. they make great witnesses, wouldn't you say? secondly, for our president to tell bill o'reilly there's not a smidgen of corruption at the irs, and for lois lerner to plead the fifth? >> we still don't have any conclusion from the doj. do they have an opportunity to step up and say here's what we found? right now lawmakers say they can't get any answers. >> once again this is one of the most partisan issues that we are

dealing with in washington right now. we've had 13 hearings over the past several months. this is going to be the 14th one. we've had 750,000 documents turned over. >> not the right ones. >> 750,000 documents zb. >> not the right ones. >> the problem is this is being conducted this such a negative, partisan fashion right now that we can't get anything done. let's be clear. when the president first heard about this, what did he say? >> he said he was outraged. >> he was outraged and that we needed to get to the bottom of this and put reforms in place to make sure this never happens again. that's exactly what's happened by two independent panels that have investigated this issue. >> we have to leave it there. >> the doj called a conservative office trying to get information and thought it was a democratic office. who's partisan? >> that did happen. but we're going to have to leave it there. americans are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the poem that became our national anthem. francis scott key wrote "the star spangled banner" after

seeing the u.s. flag wave over ft. mchenry waving after the battle of baltimore. leland, we want you to sing it. >> reporter: you don't want me to sing it. the ramparts is what i am standing on right now. 200 years ago this magnificent harbor was filled with british war ships that finished bombarding ft. mchenry. on one of those ships out in the harbor was francis scott key, being held by the british. he had been sent there to negotiate with the british and he was held captive as he watched the bombard arement of ft. mchenry. that's what they commemorated last night with a spectacular fireworks show that was all over the harbor here. vice president biden came out. that's what they are talking about whether they talk about the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air. francis scott key wrote him poem about. by the dawn's early light he saw this, the large american flag.

it's actually interesting, the smaller american flag, it's flown all night. at 9:00 in the morning they ran up the huge flag to prove to the british that we are still there. not only did it tell the british we were still there, but the 40,000 or so residents of baltimore knew the ft. had not fallen, also knew that this was a turning point in the war of 1812 against the british. from francis scott key's poem which was called "the defense of ft. mchenry," paeosted all over town. out of that came "the star spangled banner," something that we all carry with us every day of ow lives, in our wallets. the fourth verse of tstar spangled banner goes, in god is our trust, which morphed into in god we trust which we all have on every dollar bill that we have. >> leland, thanks so much. one mile to go. one mile. >> the race for every child is more than just a run.
