us. are you entertained by the pictures of domestic and child abuse? if not, they're failing america. maybe our leaders in d.c. and sports and business and entertainment can take a cue from the last couple weeks of failed leadership. if you know of a problem, fix it before there's a video of our heads rolling. president obama's former defense minister makes a stunning revelation. saying the u.s. got involved in iraq too late and pulled out too soon. >> were you confident pulling out wallace ts the right thing ? >> no, i thought it was important to maintain a presence in iraq. >> this, as congress backs s th president's plan to train and arm rebels to fight the islamic state. can we win without u.s. combat forces on the ground?

you will hear from come democratic senator nelson and republican senator vitter who both voted for funding the rebels and they will tell you why they support this move. it sees unbelievable. a fence jumper gets through the front door of the white house and puts the secret service under a very uncomfortable spotlight. where were the guard dogs? where were the armed agents? where was the president? details coming up. and police say they may have a break in the search for a missing university of virginia student. new surveillance video points authorities towards what they're calling a person of interest as a police chief pleads for help from the public to find hannah graham. we're live on the ground in charlottesville. hello, everybody. i'm uma pemmaraju. we begin with this fox news alert. there are breaking developments tied to the massive search under way for a prime suspect believed to be responsible for killing a

pennsylvania state trooper. gunfire erupting. residents have been on high alert, ordered to stay inside their homes. let's get the very latest now from brian llenis. >> reporter: behind me, you can see there are heavily armed state troopers checking those coming in and out of a area they believe 31-year-old suspected cop killer eric frein is thought to be hiding. we've seen trooper vehicles going in and out with dogs. we've heard choppers in the air as well. what they're doing is local residents have also been blocked from even being able to go back into that neighborhood. we've spoken to some that stayed in shelters overnight. others which have stayed overnight in their cars. as police continue their search. now, it appeared they are hot on his track, but they still haven't got him. now, last night around 7:00 p.m., gunshots were reported in

canadnesis, pennsylvania, about 25 miles away from where he is accused of shooting a trooper and injuring another. now, we cannot confirm whether or not shots last night were exchanged directly with frein. all we know is shots were fired. now, they were fired shortly after that. residents of barrett and price townships here in monroe county were told to shelter in place. stay away from windows. stay indoors. as camouflaged law enforcement officials went around in the woods looking for frein. as police also said they had searched the same general area and found nothing on thursday. now, local residents tell us they're on edge. >> we just can't believe everything that's going on. it makes us feel really unsafe. you know. thinking that he's so close to us in the woods. i keep looking out my back

window. we're scared. >> now, frein is on the fbi's ten most wanted fugitive lists. law enforcement officials have been going through a grid pattern, methodically searching campsites and vacation homes here in the poconos. there are just miles and miles of dense woods which makes the search difficult. frein is a local. he knows these woods very, very well. and that also makes it very scary for people. he's a self-taught survivalist. a weapons enthusiast. he's reportedly taken part in war re-enactments. he's also said -- his father said he's a great marksman. authorities say it's unlikely frein would hurt anybody in the general public but he's definitely searching for law enforcement as the main target. >> breaking details of that search that continues at this hour. thank you. >> i think the president's

concern, and i understand it, was that he had a fear that if we started providing weapons, we wouldn't know where those weapons would wind up. my view was you have to begin somewhere. >> that revelation from former defense secretary leon panetta. a key player of the security team at the time our forces were withdrawn from iraq. this interview, set to air on "60 minutes" tomorrow, also reveals he and virtually all of the president's national security team urged him to do more to help rebels in syria back when the civil war first erupted. pan net sa says now having the u.s. in syria compaes to late. as we witness thousands of iraqis taking to the streets, protesting u.s. involvement. these protesters following shiite cleric muqtada al sadr. they're among those who battled our troops for years following the iraq war. these images sure to fuel concerns from americans opposed

to having our troops back in that country and in syria. as many of you know, this week, congress approving of the president's plan to train and arm, quote, moderate syrian rebels to battle isis. voting in a rare show of bipartisan support for the move. at a time when many remain -- there are questions remaining. people are asking the question, can we trust these fighters to help u.s. efforts to defeat isis? joining us, republican senator vitter and gsenator nelson who both voted to approve the funding. before i get to the issue of funding these syrian fighters, i would like to ask you for your reaction to leon panetta's comments in that upcoming "60 minutes" interview saying we left iraq too soon and isis flourished because the u.s. got involved in syria too late. what's your response? >> i agree with leon. >> does this interview or these

remarks cast doubt on the administration's efforts to go after isis at this point? >> not at all. as a matter of fact, as i heard the clip in my ear piece, leon was talking about leaving iraq, but of course, the maliki government had forced us. because they would not sign an agreement that would hold harmless our soldiers, and so the president was not going to put us in that position of having soldiers liable to an iraqi government. with regard to syria, however, i think the president has been prudent. he has been cautious. because we didn't know who we were dealing with. they have now, over the last couple of years, sufficiently vetted these folks. they will continue to vet them

before they take them to saudi arabia to start training them. >> lots of questions remain on whether training the members of the free syrian army will really help defeat isis. many of the democratic colleagues have issued misgivings as well. people want to know who's actually going to do the vetting to make sure these guys can be trusted. >> well, it's a legitimate question. but, you know, we've got to try. look, what is the alternative? to let isis continue to behead americans? i don't think we're planning to do that. i don't think we're planning to let them, as they say, they won't stop until the black flag of isis is flying over the white house. so it's time for us to go after them. i want to start the air strikes. i think the president has the

constitutional authority as commander in chief to do that. >> in his words, he says, what we didn't do is predict the will to fight and overestimated the capability of the iraqi army. that should worry a lot of folks, should it not? because those iraqi soldiers had been at the side of u.s. sole swrers for many years with of them trains by our guys. when isis rolleded through mosul, for example, most of those iraqis just dropped their weapons and ran. what makes you think training syrians the next several months in saudi arabia will help them do a better job? >> this is about sectarian split between sunnis and shiites. the problem was the maliki government was just all one sectarian. and they used it as political patronage in their appointment of generals in the army. you can't have a fighting force

like that. now with this new prime minister in, i think we've got a chance of seeing them be more inclusive. and therefore having the professionalism in the army in iraq that is needed. you get into syria. it is a complicated deal. but we've got to go over isis. >> when we talk about no boots on the ground, we talk about u.s. military personnel. however, can you foresee having government contractors or a mercenary army to do the job on the ground? >> no, but i see having sunni troops, such as the free syrian army, being on the ground with our advice and with pinpoint air strikes being quite successful in it has been in holding off isis in northern iraq. >> all right, senator, thank you

so much for joining us today with your insights. really appreciate it. >> thanks, uma. >> what made this week's vote really stand out, as we pointed out earlier, is that it was a bipartisan consensus to support giving training and arms to the syrian fighters. so fair and balanced, let's bring in republican senator david vitter now. thank you for joining us, sir, great to see you. >> thank you, good to be with you. >> even though you said last year you didn't support air strikes or fighting in syria, you've joined your senate colleagues voting yet for training these syrian fighters against isis. how do we know those fighters will remain committed to american goals or interests? >> we don't know with 100% accuracy but we need to start that process and we need to do is aggressively and try to do it well. i voted yes because i think that's a necessary component of an overall strategy. i don't think president has yet a comprehensive strategy but i

don't want to delay our getting to that point and putting it together. i think that is one necessary element. but it's not an adequate element. it's not the whole ball game. i think we need to be looking at a number of things. quite frankly, we're way behind a time line because we got out of iraq based on political considerations, not national security ones, because the president hasn't been doing this earlier. >> you know, this week, we watched as the senate armed services committee questioned general dempsey. he offered this response that put the white house on a bit of defense. let's play that sound for our viewers right now. >> my view at this point is that this coalition is the appropriate way forward. i believe that will prove true. but if it fails to be true and there are threats to the united states, i of course will go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u.s. military ground forces. >> now, of course, we heard the president this week again saying that there would be no u.s. ground forces.

but do you think, if it comes to that, that we do need to put our boots on the ground there? do you think the president is going to listen ton his military advisers? >> well, historically, he has not. as this leon panetta story points out. he is, in some significant cases, rejected the united advice of all of his advisers, military and related advisers. so that's a concern. the first question is, what is this coalition. you know, in order to determine if it's going to be enough, we need to see it and feel it and understand what it is. we really don't have an effective coalition yet. we don't have other countries really stepping up to the plate, at least on the military side. so that's my concern, that the president does not have a coherent strategy. i voted yes because i think the limited element in that bill is a necessary part of a coherent strategy. but he's not there yet. >> let's put up this map for the

viewers. i want them to see where isis now controls territory in iraq. if we could show that map. roughly, it's the size of an area of belgium. this week, we've heard from a growing chorus of military leaders who are questioning how can we win a war with isis, without u.s. combat forces. what do you make of what appears to be growing skepticism within the military? >> i think that's their best advice, and i agree with it, unfortunately. it's not a pretty picture, but i think that is the situation. you can't deal with what is a significant army of maybe 35,000 people and growing, without ground troops. of course, i would prefer that they're not our ground troops or not primarily our ground troops but that's the reality. >> about the urgency, we're hearing it could take anywhere between 6 to 12 months to train 5,000 of these moderate syrians -- >> correct, and that's why i was

saying -- >> -- saudi arabia for example, we're saying at this point that isis may be 30,000 strong by that time. it could get even bigger before we have any people on the ground to fight them. >> that's why i was saying, uma, i think clearly this element that has been approved is not adequate in and of itself. i think that's what all the military leaders have been saying. uma, i think what we need to move this discussion forward and also to follow the constitution is a new authorization of military force. i don't think the president has the proper authority simply under the constitution and the existing authorizations -- >> what would that invol then? when you guys come back from the recess, want to have that authorization take place? >> yes, i think that's required constitutionally. in addition, i think that would be very important, to move the debate and the discussion forward, to make sure, number one, we get to a coherent

strategy and number two, we involve the american people so they're supportive of it. >> thank you very much. obviously many challenges remain and we're going to be watching very closely what the senate and the rest of congress does. thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> our intelligence analysts are pouring over brand-new propaganda video posted friday. the video entitled flames of war, fighting has just begun, features a male narrator who appears to have a north american accent, either midwest or canadian. he warns of a direct threat to america in the near future. joining us to help us make some sense of this and many other isis related threats to the homeland is our gift, the president of a grassroots organization dedicated to national security, and she's also the author of the book "because they hate." a survivor of islamic terror warns america.

great to see you again. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, delighted to be with you. >> let's talk about the video, still being analyzed by voice specialists trying to determine its origin. the bottom line here, this slick glossy video is being produced by a very sophisticated production team within isis. it's clear isis wants americans to understand their fight is directed at us. what's your take on this video? >> well, they are becoming very sophisticated in the way they communicate. they surpass our communication strategy. we know that isis and the radicals before them, even al qaeda, remember, gadom who was a spokesperson for al qaeda was a man from california flew went in english. the editor of "inspire" magazine for al qaeda was from carolina. converted to islam. now we see americans who think like americans, american messaging, to basically be in charge of their messaging, because they are now fighting the war of ideas. they are trying to reach the

american public, to show the american public that the reason why we're fighting you is because of your government policy. so they're trying to use the american public to put pressure on the government and to basically recruit as well. and that's very dangerous. >> we have reports that this adds to the growing concerns about attacks here at hope, and, as i understand it, you believe isis is already here in the u.s. what evidence backs that up? >> the intelligence community and members of our government as well have stated publicly that at least we know of 100 that we already identified, americans with american passports, who are now fighting with isis. those are the ones we know about, uma. we estimate 400 that we don't even know who they are. the intelligence community is monitoring them. they are already inside the

country. so we know they are trying to come in. we know they have been trained by isis. as for the mexican border, again, the mexican border, it doesn't come as shocking news to anybody that we have terrorists crossing the mexican border. we know that hezbollah and al qaeda both have been trying to pay off the drug cartels to smuggle terrorists into america. i discuss that in both my books. because they hate and they must be stopped. different terrorist organizations have been paying between $10,000 and $25,000 per terrorist to the drug cartel to smuggle that terrorist into the united states. isis is doing the same thing. >> we learned a law enforcement bulletin is warning isis fighters are calling for so-called lone wolves to attack u.s. soldiers in america and use twitter, facebook, to send messages, saying to look up those military members' home addresses online so they could kill them. it's part of that terror group's aggressive use of social media. do you believe homeland security

understands many of these fighters are part of a generation that's grown up with social media and are quite savvy? is dhs playing just catch up at this point? >> dhs is playing catch up but they are taking the threat seriously. look at england just a few months ago. a british soldier beheaded during daylight on british streets. look what they were planning to do in australia just a couple days ago. if they did it already in london, they were planning on doing it in australia, we know they are planning on doing it in the united states as well. the problem with our government, uma, is we have failed to identify who we are really fighting. first, we were supposedly fighting al qaeda. now we are supposedly fighting isis. what our government needs to tell the american public is we are fighting orthodox islam as it was practiced on the days of prophet muhammad. it doesn't matter what name they go by, whether they're isis, al qaeda, hezbollah, hamas, boko haram, they all wear different

names but they are all the same, following the commandments of the koran and that's why we need to open our eyes and realize we are fighting an ideology. all these people operating out of the same doctrine. that's why we must do whatever we must do to protect ourselves. >> bridgete, thank you. now, time to hear from you. do you think we can trust moderate syrian fighters who will be now u.s. armed and trained to be loyal in our fight against isis? you can send me your tweets to @umapemmaraju or @anhqdc. a major security breach at the white house. how did an intruder get so close, through the front door, in fact? details coming up. after a torrent of criticism over the nfl's handling of domestic violence cases, beleaguered commissioner roger

charlottesville, virginia, looking for 18-year-old university of virginia student hannah graham. as new surveillance video is released showing graham and a man last saturday, the day she disappeared. standing by now in charlottesville with more on this story. leeland. >> reporter: hi, uma. a lot has developed over the past 24 hours. especially, we've now learned police have searched the residence of this suspect. they have also seized his car. the man seen on surveillance tape, black male, 32 years old, tall, 250 pounds. also wearing lots of dread locks. at one point, seen with hannah graham. police say they simply don't have enough evidence to arrest him or somebody else. if you live in the city of charlottesville, you attend the university of virginia, if that young lady's touched your life in any way, you have the responsibility to help us find

her. >> reporter: a lot of students and residents of charlottesville are taking that responsibility seriously. giving up their saturday to come out and search not only for hannah graham but any type of evidence that might be used in this case. >> this is a lot more personal because not only was she a student but it happened so close to me and so close to where i live. you know, i would walk home alone all the time. >> reporter: police spending their day searching as well. they brought out scent dogs to see if they can't figure out where hannah and that suspect went. that julie store is where the surveillance tape comes from at 1:08 where you last see hannah on tape. obviously now is trying to solve that mystery. where did she go next? >> i will always be hope florida we find hannah. >> reporter: a lot of the searchers we talked to, uma, say they're almost scared about what they might find today. not only walking around downtown but some of the more suburban parts of this community, in and

around charlottesville. police say they are going to continue canvassing today, tomorrow, and what they're most looking for now is any k electronic evidence. they're trying to get more surveillance tapes and cell phone data to see if they can't piece any more together in this case and bring hannah home and at least some kind of closure to her parents. >> our hearts go out to her family. leeland, thank you very much. and still ahead, as crews try to slow down a massive wildfire in northern california, police charge a man with deliberately setting that blaze and those who know the suspect say it's not his first brush with the law. >> he was fighting with his cousin drunk out there and they got arrested then too. >> we're going to have the very latest on the case and the fires that are burning out west coming your way. plus, the midterm elections are fast approaching. and control of the senate hangs in the balance. coming up, our political guru with his early take on some of

roger goodell admitting he's making -- he's made some mistakes but says he won't resign. after mon thre than a week of silence, now speaking out, saying the league will overhaul how it deals with players who are accused of crimes. now, the very latest on this story. >> you're absolutely spot on there, uma, look, after that lengthy press conference he gave, citing some very difficult and very personal questions, the overwhelming reaction seems to be he didn't do a good job. a raft of people came out and

really wanted to see more than just an apology. specifically with the civic rights lawyer, gloria allred who actually wanted to see his head roll. >> his mea culpa is, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i want to get it right, but i also heard that he talked about due process for the players and, once again -- >> to the players -- wait a minute, do they not deserve due process? >> beinof course, but i didn't anything about due process for the victims. >> a lot of womens groups supporting what she had to say there. unlikely bedfellows coming ought in terms of who are supporting women's rights groups on what was said there. that is the players who took to twitter. some of them live on air. ravens wide sever torrey smith. saying what roger just said is exactly the same thing that players say when they make a

mistake and plead their case. packers practice squad wide receiver myles white, this dude up here telling lies, it's unbelievable, is what he tweeted. the former seahawks receiver sydney rice couldn't show his displeasure more, boo, this man. he tweets with goodell live on air. some are wondering whether those players are going to face fines now for criticizing the commissioner. certainly not over for the nfl. procter & gamble, which had been co-sponsoring breast cancer awareness initiative with the nfl, has pulled out of that. the nfl saying that, infeed, it will continue on its own without it. big sponsors are being critical. also pepsi frowning on this. one final point, the baltimore ravens, according to espn, knew about the ray rice case, of him beating his then fiance immediately after that happened

in that casino. and the ravens denying much of the report is wrong. we will hear from them early next week in terms of what their response is on that. this scandal being dragged out. back to you, uma. firefighters are dropping record amounts of retardant on a massive wildfire. authorities are saying, though, a 37-year-old÷o deliberately started that blaze. wayne allen huntsman pleading not guilty to arson. he is being held on $10 million bails. authorities have not said what evidence they have so far linking him to the the fire. the blaze is now at this point just 10% contained and is the largest of about a dozen fires that are burning statewide. turning now to baa bit of politics. we're getting closer to the midterm elections. races are heating up in battleground states. the balance power in the senate

is in play. could the gop regain control? joining us to handicap some key races, the director of the university of virginia center of politics larry sabato. welcome, sir, great to have you here. >> thank you so much. >> we're getting closer, and a lot of folks are gearing up for some key states where some tight races are at play. let's talk about the climate we're under right now, given the fact that many people are concerned with leadership at the top. when you look at some of the fox news polls we have, when you look at the president's job performance rating, for example, if we can put that up there, you can see the disapproval rate, 57%, is quite high at this point. when you ask people if they feel better off than they did in 2008, these are the numbers. 54% say no, compared to 37% who say they do. so what do you make of those numbers, first of?

>> uma, this is a classic sixth year election. we call it the sixth year itch. it means trouble for the white house. the president's ratings are low. people are feeling badly about a number of things. so the ground is fertile for gop gains. in my operation, the crystal ball at the university of virginia, we expect republicans to pick up seats in both the house and the senate. in the senate, which is really what this election's all about, the minimum republicans can pick up is four seats, bringing the total down to 51-49, democrat controlled. but right now, i think the republicans are edging ahead in enough states to give them a narrow majority. you were right to mention the 45 days though. the final six weeks are absolutely critical. and some of these races will flip and flop back and forth. >> do you think voters, though, are really honing in on the races at this point? because there's a lot of apathy towards congress now.

>> yeah, there's no question about that. it's hard not to. their approval rating being in the teens, in some polls, single digits. i wouldn't say the american public is energized about the midterm elections. by election day, people will be. there will be be a much lower turnout than in a presidential election. from what i've seen, republicans are generally more energized than democrats. and that of course helps republican candidates. >> let's talk about some of the key states we're looking at where there's some tight races in kansas. lay it out for us, please. >> oh, boy, kansas. kansas is the nightmare for prognosticators like me. because essentially you know have no democratic candidate. the democrat on the ballot was allowed to drop off by the kansas supreme court. i think that will hold oeven though republicans are appealing it. that leaves pat roberts, who had a very weak primary showing,

under 50%, versus greg oralen who is an independent and refusing to say which party he would side with in the senate. essentially, it's pat roberts versus not pat roberts. this presents great problems for reports. the republicans have said in a rescue team. he's behind in the polls now. let's remember, republicans have a deep pool of voters in kansas. it's a very red state. >> absolutely. and in louisiana, there's definitely a lot at stake for the voters there who are engaged with the candidates, engaged in a very tight race there as well. >> senator mary landrielandrieu is her toughest race. again, the nightmare for prognosticators is louisiana always does things differently. their election is not until december. they have a primary on november 4th. so if the senate is essentially

tied up, we won't know which party controlled the senate until i believe it's december 6th, which is the runoff election in louisiana. but landrieu has her toughest race ever. >> wow, that would be something, to have to wait until december. that would put people so much on edge, it would be unbelievable. larry, i know you're going to be keeping close watch. thank you so much for your crystal ball predictions. we know we're going to keep up with you as the days roll on. appreciate it. >> thank you, uma, thanks. up next, we're going to have the latest on the desperate search for two missing children. the mom is in jail for their murder but dad's still holding out hope. >> it's just frustrating that i don't know where my kids are.

. . .

my name is michael. i'm 55 years old and i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain was terrible. my feet hurt so bad. it felt like hot pins and needles coming from the inside out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor, and he prescribed lyrica, it helped me. it's known that diabetes damages nerves. lyrica is fda-approved to treat diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is not for everyone. it may cause serious allergic reactions, or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or skin sores from diabetes. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet.

don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. having reduced pain is great, and i'm grateful for it. ask your doctor about lyrica and visit lyrica.com to learn about our $25 co-pay offer. iit's a lot of haggling and itan stakes so long.ship. craig's experience is completely different than mine. yeah. yes, mike has used truecar.

at truecar, we'll show you how much others paid for the car you want, and how much you should. because i used truecar there was no haggling about the price. they treated me so well, and it was just such a quick, easy experience. get your car, and get back to the life you love. welcome to the future of car-buying. we're back. later today, a search for two
