that's it for today. i hope you've enjoyed the show. see you next time. a massive manhunt now under way in eastern pennsylvania where police are searching for a man suspected of ambushing two state troopers last week, killing one of them. hello, everyone. welcome to "america's news headquarters." the alleged gunman is eric frein. he's described to have a major grudge against law enforcement. brian is live in pennsylvania. brian? >> reporter: this started as an acre's long search and finally police zeroed in on the
1:31 pm
neighborhood and the woods behind me looking for the 31-year-old eric frein who is the suspect after the ambush eight days ago. it's really a difficult search area because it's also covered and surrounded by state hunting land. last night at about 7:00 p.m., shots were fired in the neighborhood though we don't know if they were exchanged with frein. people have been told to shelter in place since last night and some residents have been unable to return to their homes split from their family. we've seen two dozen unmarked and marked vehicles carrying watt sw s.w.a.t. team members as police fly overhead. this is about a mile away from where frein lived with his parents and about 25 miles away where he's accused of doing this ambush, killing one trooper and injuring another. this is a hunting community and everyone has guns. there's acres of land and they,
1:32 pm
more than anyone, under how difficult this kind of search can be. >> he's from around here. he knows the woods and the area and know where is to go. you know, they are searching an area, whether he's outnumbered or not, he still has a little bit of an upper hand because he knows the woods. i'm hoping we can all go back to our lives and go back to our homes and families. >> frein is on the top 10 list for the most wanted. he understands the woods and has been firing a rifle since he was a kid. nightfall is falling here. people in this community people like they are being held hostage in their own town. they want to see it end and so does law enforcement. we'll keep you updated. >> bryan, thanks for staying on top of it. more than half a million syrian kurds fleeing from an
1:33 pm
isis advance, all this happening in just the last 24 hours after isis fighters began seizing dozens of villages. isis is continuing to get closer. this news coming around the same time that dozen of turkish hostages were released and returned by the militants. they were reportedly abducted in june from the turkish consulate in mosul and freed after turkey describes a covert operation by its intelligence agency. meanwhile, ebola aid workers coming under attack. health workers were targeted during the burial of several ebola victims. the team had to abandon the bodies on the street when they were confronted bay group of teens. this follows devastating reports out of guinea where at least eight aide workers and
1:34 pm
journalists were murdered. let's turn to the security breach at the white house. a man jumping the fence, running across the white house lawn and reaching the front door. that is when agents finally made an arrest. and now the incident is is raing some serious questions for the secret service. let's go to elizabeth who is live at the white house. elizabeth? >> reporter: well, security is still tight. in fact, within an hour ago, a man tried to breach -- parked his car in front of one of the barricaded entry ways on 15th street. he didn't break through the barricade but they've pushed back all of the tourists and folks on pennsylvania avenue and that's where tourists usually go and where they were last night when 42-year-old omar gonzales jumped that fence. we have video of it. you can see him sprinting and taking off towards the pillars of the white house. he wasn't stopped until he passed through the threshold of the front doors.
1:35 pm
he was not taken down on the lawn and he was not met by dogs, which is what we have seen in the past. at least one officer was outside the front door with a gun drawn but used his discretion and did not shoot at that time. gonzales, we know now, was apparently unarmed during the incident. the president, however, was not home at the time but had only left about four minutes beforehand with his two daughters for camp david. his wife, the first lady, had already left. she was gone for the weekend. remember, it's only been about a week and a half since a man wearing a costume jumped the fence in a similar fashion. he was taken down in a different way. he was taken down on the lawn. he was greeted by men and officers with guns and also a dog unit. law enforcement officials say today conducting shoulder-to-shoulder sweeps and did the front plaza and adjacent park where we see tourists crowding around. the officers have pushed them back off pennsylvania avenue, as i mentioned. but to let our viewers know, an
1:36 pm
alarm is set off and every on-duty officer is notified at that time. the secret service releasing a statement last night saying that they are investigating the incident and, of course, we'll get to the bottom of exactly what happened. back to you. >> elizabeth, thank you very much. >> thanks. and there is new developments in the search for a missing university of virginia student. police are combing the home of a man seen entering a restaurant with hannah graham and possibly getting into a car with her. right now, he's being called a person of interest. leland vitter is live. >> reporter: where we're standing is the last place hannah graham was seen on surveillance tape, about 1:08 in the morning. police are piecing together the timeline of exactly what happened after that. they are centering on this man, also seen on that very same
1:37 pm
surveillance tape. 32 years old, 6'2", 270 pounds with a lot of dreadlocks. he was seen putting his arm around hannah graham and taking her into a restaurant where it appears as though they may have had something to drink over a 15-minute period, bringing us to about 1:30 a.m. police know who this man is. they have talked to him and searched his car and house and still they don't have enough to charge him with any crime. >> this press conference and every press conference hereafter is about one thing and one thing only and that is about finding hannah. everyone with the sound of my voice has that responsibility. if you live in the city of charlottesville, if that young lady has touched your life in any way, you have the responsibility to help us find her. >> reporter: and police have been out here on the downtown pedestrian mall with bloodhounds
1:38 pm
today. the police helicopter is overhead. they are trying to see if they can get more on what happened after they may have left the mall, possibly in that suspect's car. w also about 1100 volunteers to search areas all over here, railroad tracks, people's backyards, those kinds of things. still this afternoon we have not heard that they have found anything of significance for this investigation to move it forward. i just talked to a couple of police sources. they are very much interested in the man that we have talked about going forward they are trying to figure out if there's any other cameras that might have caught them on tape after they left that restaurant, which is just around the corner here. also, they are focusing in on hannah graham's cell phone record. 1:20 or about then she sent a message to a friend saying essentially that she was lost. the question is, if they can
1:39 pm
triangulate where that message was sent from and if there are any other pings from her cell phone after that. >> thank you for that report there. and the war on women narrative proved to be a win over democrats in 2012 but will it work again in 2014? and a traffic cop coming to the rescue of a driver in distress. more on this incredible dash cam footage coming up next. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. 24 vitamins and minerals. 9 grams of protein... with 30% less sugars than before. ensure, your #1 dr. recommended brand now introduces ensure active. muscle health. clear protein drink and high protein. targeted nutrition to feed your active life. ensure. take life in.

he gave her a heimlich maneuver and likely saved her life. fascinating. wow. >> the 2012 election saw democrats make use of a war on women narrative. now democrats appear to be trying to revive the tactic for the 2014 midterms but will it work? joining us now is daniel, the online editor for the weekly standard and author of "clinton, inc." will americans perceive this a wage on war of women or a stunt by democrats or will americans see this all as a bunch of political hot air across the board? >> i think a combination of all three. i think the war on women that the democrats in 2012 worked amazing wonders. one, republican candidates were not very good. they had a couple candidates who
1:44 pm
had very severe cases of foot and mouth disease. that was very problematic for this. and president obama was able to nationalize this issue which i don't think can be done. i think in this time around the republican candidates are much better and they are not able to nationalize this election quite the same way as they were in presidential election. i think for those two reasons it has not been showing the same effects in the poll and it doesn't seem to have caught on in the same way. there are people who are frustrated a little bit and maybe it's helping around the edges but not as much as they had hoped. >> because daniel, it's compartmentalized. let's say if the democrats gain traction with this angle, what does the party stand to gain and what does the party stand to lose? >> the senate and several house seats. so they are trying to poise
1:45 pm
strategically in different states where male republican candidates are facing off against female democratic candidates, in states like new hampshire and north carolina. they are trying to where it's just male to male matchups and in colorado it's being deployed. democrats are seeing their poll numbers slip and a little uncertainty. they are trying to throw up as much as they can on the wall and to see what sticks. if it sticks, it makes it worth it. if it doesn't, they move on to the other issues. it's a multifrontal war that the democrats are engaged in. >> the most formidable female in the democratic party is hillary clinton. i mean, listen, secretary clinton will continue to empower women, especially those on upcoming ballots. but did you really see secretary clinton getting involved in a party-wide attack on the republican party and claim that the gop as a whole denegrates
1:46 pm
women? >> certainly she hasn't declared her own candidacy and she wasn't been out as a surrogate for various other democrats. but i would submit that the democrats are keeping this issue alive, not just for 2014 election but with the 2016 election in mind. i think the war on women would be a very, very convincing talking point for hillary clinton, at least the democrats hope, and i think that's why they want to keep it around because they can nationalize the election, have a female candidate likely against the republican male candidate and i think that's what is at stake here and i think that explains what's going on here. >> in wrapping up for me, daniel, maybe it's just a test run, if you will, so sort of they kind of know what you point out, which is this midterm race is too compartmentalize but if they put their toe in the water, they can see if it's going to test. >> absolutely. absolutely. and what they don't want to
1:47 pm
declare the war over. they need the war to continue because they need to be able to elect the first female president in 2016. of course, hillary clinton. this is a long game. this is a long war. and the democrats, i think, will continue to accuse republicans of waging it. >> okay. daniel helper, we'll be watching it and so will we. thank you. congress has approved the strategy to defeat isis. but what happen if they don't go along with potential air strikes in syria? we'll talk about it coming up. you do a lot of things great.

calling from the jetblue flight that made an emergency landing on thursday. >> it was like a loud boom. >> saw how big it was, i couldn't believe how big it was. >> all the writing on it and it's got the flame on it. totally cool. it's got to be from that plane. >> wow is right. she gave the object to an faa official for further analysis. and congress this week signing off on the president's strategy for defeating isis. part of that plan involves potential air strikes in syria. the u.s. wants its allies to join in those strikes, but what happens if they don't? fox news contributor and former congressman dennis kucinich joins us live. good to see you. >> good to be with you. >> so france is on board with air strikes over iraq, as you know. but not syria. then we have other coalition countries offering a humanitarian aid, military training, but no lethal
1:51 pm
1:52 pm
1:53 pm
>> that's a possibility. another possibility is that you have to remember, a year ago mr. cameron suffered somewhat of a setback when he wanted to go forward with air strikes and he couldn't get the support of the arrest lament. but there is another -- parliament. but there is another issue and that is how do you stop the war? how do you stop this war? you stop a war by starving it and the way that you starve isis is number one, they have control right now of about $800 million worth of oil a year. countries that are our allies are involved in dealing with them in a black market. we have to stop that. we have to put sanctions against any country that would sell isis oil. and also stop anybody from providing arms to them. >> but congressman, as/1cp you , you mentioned plaque markets. some of those -- speaking off the record, they're doing this very far off the record. how do you stop those countries if they're not even on the books with this? >> they're not that far off the
1:54 pm
record. for example, in turkey, it's been widely reported that oil barrels have been seen in tushish territory that came from syria in the area controlled by isis. and what the real game is here is that isis is hoping to be able to -- when king abdullah moves on, isis is hoping to be able to use its popular support to gain control of $26 trillion worth of oil. this is why we should be very concerned about how we're handling this so as not to give them even more support at a grassroots level and we have to involve syria and iran in seeking a solution here. the united states has to be careful that we don't end up being in a revolver latter day crusaders inciting the entire muslim world to turn against us. >> those points are excellent, of course. how does, when the president, president obama, comes and addresses the general assembly
1:55 pm
next week, how does he lay out all of those land mines, if you will, and get he have been on board and say to some of those countries who may be not as far off the books as you're saying, but providing the financial assistan to isis? how does he get them to stop it? >> relationships between nations are not unlike relationships between friends. if you ask a friend to do something, they're not comfortable with and they let you know that over and over, quit asking. so i would think that what the president is going to find out after he speaks to the general assembly is that the same countries that are resisting now will continue to resist. and we should take some note from that. the united states can no longer be the policemen of the world. other countries will have to be involved in meeting this challenge of isis. >> to your point, if you have to stop asking, if the president has to stop asking, then how do you cut off the financial life line? >> we have to change our strategy and involve syria and
1:56 pm
iran and a solution and deal with isis because isis is not just a small group of terrorists. they are organized as a state would be organized. we have to take a very intelligent approach in dealing with them and not just say, well, we're going to use brute force because actually, it's the brute force that we use in iraq that gave a rise to these groups likes isis who are ready to attack us again. >> so i have to go, is president obama, his strategy of sort of being cautious, is that okay? you think he's too cautious? yes or no? >> when you're dealing with the fate of the world, you better be cautious. i think that the president needs to be deliberate in this decision. >> congressman, thank you very much. that does it for me. "the five" is up next. i'll see new an hour. i'm arthel hour. some cash back cards

over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the nfl doing wrong. that starts with me. i said this before back on august 28 and i say it again now, i got it wrong in the b handling of the ray rice matter. i'm sorry for that. >> this is the fox news alert. nfl commissioner roger goodell moments ago addressing theer scandals engulfing america's ro most popular sport. he took responsibility for his errors in the past. then promised to fix the problem. nothing, i repeat nothing is off the table. lien
