10:02 am
we'll to the second hour of "happening now". >> i am happy to have you back. >> the strikes targeting isis locations in syria and the u.s. said they were plotting to attack the home land. president obama said help from five arab allies is proof that the world is united to defeat isis. and those countries lending support is qatar and bahrain and jordan. this will be the start to weed out isis for good. >> last night's strikes is a persistent campaign to defeat and destroy isil. the immediate path to defeat and degrade isil in syria and iraq and build a coalition.

10:04 am

10:06 am
most americans haven't heard of them until this morning. and who are they and what are they about? >> this is yet another al-qaeda spin off. one of the leaders of the group was one of the original members of al-qaeda, and had been read in the plans of 9/11 and he lived in iran for a while and then transferred to syria where he was affiliated with another group. and they have the group that is focused on not retaining territory like isis or pursuing al-qaeda militancy but just attacking the west and united states in particular. >> some respects. they would be tougher to go after than isis. isis has vehicles and territory that it holds. this group is more eph emoral.
10:07 am
>> and they had a group. and it is reported that they killed the leader of the group it is unclear. yes, they will go to ground and disappear and be hard unless we have boots on the ground and operational intelligence from human sources. >> the aim apparently of the obama administration and others is to continue to use air power to shape the battlefield. but it is not to be joined by american troops can can the iraqi army pick up the fight on iraqi soil? >> you know, the iraqi army is a weak reed. they dispersed after isis took over parts of mosul. and another battalion and base of iraqi soldiers was over run and five are missing and the army is divided now with the
10:08 am
shiite militia aiding the military. and t sunnis are missing and it is difficult to count on iraq. >> what about the air strikes. how important is that to you? >> it is a big deal. but the countries recognize it is in their interest that they are already on the target list of isis. and if they don't get to be proactive and join the battle, isis will come for them and we saw that jordan rounded up a cell of 11 isis members who were planning to launch large scale attacks. it is good that they are getting skin in the game, it is their problem if not more than ours. >> david, thank you.
10:09 am
>> thank you. back to the latest on the u.s. air strikes on isis and another terror group in syria president obama speak out about that campaign this morning. doug has more. >> what stood out to you? >> reporter: the hard facts is what stands out. title of 14 strikes within syria against isis targets and we learned eight against the khora san group that is planning imminent attacks on europe and on the home land. playing supporting roles in the attacks was five arab allies and that is key to the strategy here. listen to the president on the south lawn this morning. >> we are joined in this action by friends and partners. saudi arabia, united arab imerates and ba hrain and qatar.
10:10 am
america is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder on these. >> their involvement is significant. they are sunni led countries fighting against a sunni enemy. and these attacks garnered broad support and speaker john boehner saying i support the attacks. and this is one step and what is a larger effort to destroy and defeat the terrorist organization. and will the american public support a sustained long- term bombing campaign? >> there are 47 tomahawk cruise missiles and each with a price tag of $1.5 million. and we heard from the pentagon that they were only the beginning and a sentiment echoed by the white house and senator lindsay graham and senator john
10:11 am
mccain said today that the strikes are not enough and the attempts to arm moderate syria rebel factions and not destroying the threat posed by president ah sawed and his air force. it must be recognized it is not effective or moral to ekwup syrians to fight isis and don't defend them from assad air strikes and bombs. the president should be demappeded to stop or face the destruction from his own air force. >> and the u.s. air strikes expanded in syria. and president obama warned not to expect immediate success. >> the over all effort will take time and challenges ahead and we'll do what is necessary to take the fight to this terrorist group. >> a fight that could go on for
10:12 am
years. and a sharp change in tone from (phone ringing) . and a emergency landing with a cross country fight. what sparked this seen? and search in a home that is a person of interest in this disappearance of a university student.
10:13 am
10:14 am
10:15 am
>> well, an unruly passengers force a flight from boston to los angeles to make an emergency landing and a film producer from la captures the video of the man taken away in hand cups. it started when he argued with a woman sitting next to him. they attempted to calm him down
10:16 am
and things only got worse. he tried to open the emergency exist door. and he was taken to a hospital. >> and wow, when first campaigning for the white house. then candidate obama promised to end the war in iraq and now the president is walking a fine line as he transitioned to a commander in chief leading a new war against isis. america's new war president, lays out how president obama's effort using a international coalition could be a chance to remake his legacy and he must go from being the president that was elected to end wars to the president who leads one effectively. and joining me is the senior editor of the review.
10:17 am
last night and this morning, how is the president doing so far. he's doing well he was able to announce the five arab nations are with us in the coalition. and have statements of support from the republican and democratic leaders in congress and they want the president to come back and i take that to mean an authorizing vote. and practical matters. and by having it done now before the united general assembly goes to new york and it is a coalition organized. >> is this forcing him to remake the presidency and legacy? >> i think the administration came in to office with assumptions about the middle east and world that was not
10:18 am
true. it was harder to extreicate ourselves from the middle east. and i saw on twitter, on the new yorker making a point that obama bombed seven countries to president bush's four. that is not what anybody expected when obama was running. >> how do you elected and you have to fight one based on what is going on. and how dow make that pivot without going back on what you were elected to do. and he was against the war in iraq. and does make him look like somebody who didn't size up the world correctly. and it would change the dynamics in the middle east. and we see with this air strike the first volley in what will be a long series of actions and that the bracket on his eight
10:19 am
years in office start with wars in the mideast and end with the u.s. still engaged in the area. >> some say his approach to what is going on makes him look ambivalent like it is safe the date foreign policy. and here we are coming and you do what it is that you said you were going to do. and others say he is deliberate and thoughtful, what dow think? >> i think i lean to the former interpretation. i think it is hard to rally the public to the foreign policy when the administration can't decide whether it is a war or not. obama said the goal is to degrade and destroy the islamic state. i think there is skepticism as to whether it would destroy. >> thank you. and as the brutality of isis is
10:20 am
spread. how are they paying for all of the military operations. that is a cutting off the flow of dollars to the terrorist. and the man accused of breaking new white house security found himself on the secret service radar not too long ago. how did he fall off of it? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪

10:26 am
to make the white house like fort knox because we live in a open society. >> and doesn't everybody lock the front dor. >> and it shouldn't have been opened and the point is, we can knock that place down like fort knox. and should they touch pennsylvania avenue. and two incidents. and there were times when they could have said that's it. and we are undergoing mental competency test and they start saying to you. they get whacky people. >> is it the secret service that failed and it is very terrifying and given what we have seen today and the president is doing or was it a legal system that failed? >> it is a point that was not
10:27 am
truly a threat. >> it is an excellent point. on one hand as melissa said. the guy was in court twice. and then on the other hand, he jumped the fence. people jumped the fence and usually react creativity and they have canine units and dogs and other things. i blame the prosecutor. >> the victim. >> and the secret service. and victim. >> please excuse me, the mansion of the most powerful man in the world should have been able to block him. >> they need to give him mental counseling. >> this video will last a long time. mentally disturbed or not. he had a lot of weapons. >> and a lot at stake in the

10:36 am
equipment they had was astounding. they offered him five times the normal pay and a house and a car. and wow, they have serious money. that's what makes isis different, right, stove? >> reporter: yeah, what you say on the business show. >> it is all about the money. >> this is a perfect example of what you always say. look, if we are going to destroy terrorist networks, you have to do something about the massive flow of money. 5 million a day? that is billions a year they are reaping from oil and gas sales. i would say, we should connect the dot between the story you just covered. the president is talking about climate change and reducing our output of oil and gas, when if we want to undermine and destroy the finances of isis and other terrorist networks, we should produce as much oil and gas and
10:37 am
hurt them in the pocketbook. >> it is a challenge. you look at the ways they are making money. oil fields and selling all of the oil on the black market at discount and we don't have any way of knowing where the oil is coming from. we know about the ransom and taxing retail stores in the regions that they are. to keep the lights and electricity on to generate revenue. they take everything from the territory and looking at how to make a profit right away and keep the organization going. and their focus on finances they are worth 2 billion. and hesbollah is a tiny fractions of that. >> they are like pirates. and the way you described it. they go in and destroy a community and take out all of the revenues and what you are describing.

>> and those of us who never participated in a hands on search. and went in one time and gone back in a second time. is that because they needed to specified warrants and what it is they want to take? >> no, this is why they went back a second time. they affected a search warrant and took articles out of the home and confiscated the guy's vehicle. it was something in the vehicle and in the home that they went in last week in the apartment that led them to go back again today. they didn't just go back there. they had to get another search warrant. there was evident or problemable cause for a judge to sign the warrant. >> what about the cell phones, everyone is carrying a cell phone and you are traveling around and your cell phone pings in serious cell towers.
10:49 am
can they get that evident to tell where he was. >> yes, they k. they issued three warrants last monday, one of the warrants was for the confiscation of mr. matthew's cell phone. they are scouring through his cell phone and looking at gps coding on the cell phone. whether he was on the phone, mr. matthews or not. the cell phone records where it has been. and that is part of the investigation that the police are doing right now. and one last thing, the search expanded to rural areas outside of the city of charlottesville and for good reason. there is information that mr. matthews has a number of relatives and connections and rural areas outside of the city of charlottesville. >> you have a lot of sources in the area. are they optimistic? after a disappearance like this, it is easy to get pessimistic
10:50 am
