9:00 am
ago. attorney general eric holder announcing he will be stepping down. that press conference coming 4:30 later today. a lot of news going on. jon: update on the search for hannah graham. "outnumbered" starts right now. >> fox news alert. a new report that iraq's prime minister says his country has uncovered an imminent terror plot to attack subways right here in the u.s. and in paris. we're also learning the u.s. was alerted but that plot has reportedly not been stopped. i'm sandra smith. here today, andrea tantaros, host of "the independents" on fox business channel, kennedy, kirsten powers with us, today's #oneluckyguy, from "o'reilly factor," jessie waters on a big news day. >> they said our chemistry was electric. so i'm very excited. >> this is the first time we've been together. >> you two haven't been on
9:01 am
together either. >> we haven't. do we have a generator incase all the power goes down from the energy? >> put your two brains together and discuss this terror plot. they're piling on now. by the way, when the iraqi prime minister was asked if this had been thwarted he said no. so on the take, an imminent terror plot. on the u.s. as well as paris. >> incredibly scary. feels like how it felt after 9/11 right now. you kind of feel like you're in middle of the storm. i don't like this feeling personally. we need to do something about it. what i don't understand, the president first said iraq was stable. then he said isis was just jv. and then he said that it was manageable problem. and then he said there was no imminent threat to the homeland. and now just in the last 24 hours we've seen two supposed imminent threats to the homeland. i don't know what's going on. >> kirsten, the other threat he is talking about coming from the khorasan group about a toothpaste bomb plot on airliners.
9:02 am
>> i think we have to be skeptical sometimes. if they're saying there is a threat we have to take it at face value. the time something is interesting. it seems to come at a time they're trying to build up a support for war, right? and so you're right, how will we were so safe before and now suddenly out of the blue it seems that we have these terror attacks against the nights united states. >> isn't that troubling? we're waiting for can confirmation from our fox news reporters. what is troubling, sandra, exactly what jesse said, the administration has been on different pages on whether or not we could be attacked at home. we're hearing from the white house, no, no, not a big deal. hearing from the department of defense, yes, it could be imminent. it has been uncovered but not thwarted. i know iraqi government, not the most trustworthy bunch in the world why would they say something like this? makes me think, kirsten, to your
9:03 am
point, they're trying to garner support. there is a big vote tomorrow in british parliament. at the same time there is british hostage could be beheaded. part of the british community saying let's not bomb them. we don't want our hostage to be beheaded. terror plots are happening all over. we're vulnerable like our neighbors in france. we have to do something. >> i thought point going after isis make sure we went after the bad guys, we went after the terrorists. all of sudden going after isis in syria, more terror plots are emerging. you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. i said it before, said it again i question whether we have an endgame and immediate strategy. all david cameron and president said this will take long time. we'll not have any ground troops. it will not be sufficient force, show of force against isis. and you're creating all of these other tangents. >> kirsten, i know you're trying to jump in here, everybody is saying we haven't heard from
9:04 am
homeland security on all of this. president said last week. there was no known terror plot. >> they talked about lone wolves. they didn't talk about the terror groups. >> they said actually was a regular response to any known terror plots being reported. go ahead, kirsten. >> i really am concerned. i would love to have information about how they decide to go public with a terror plot. had there always been terror plots that they were sort of concerned about and they just didn't decide to be public about them? now it is just this convenient for them to do it? or are these actually more series and -- >> france and united states. two countries that are doing the airstrikes. >> the theory here seems to be from what i'm hearing, someone is using this as leverage to either galvanize western opinion and force us to come in harder against isis. is it baghdad putting pressure on france and great britain and united states to realize this threat is serious and we need ground troops? or is it administration? is it france? is it great britain?
9:05 am
who knows. we don't know. >> or iraq helping administration out. we'll give you cover from the war powers threat, if you have an imminent threat you have a blank check. >> baghdad all of sudden fly off the handle, by the way there is unthwarted plot in the united states? >> one thing that i think is strategic and should be, i mean applauded we're going after their oil fields. last night, big story, taking out their oil. they're garnering what, two million dollars a day in oil. >> i have a different opinion. i don't know we're taking out oil fields. we're talking about temporary structures. overseas, the u.s. hitting isis where it is supposed to hurt the most in the wallet. this is pentagon video of us air strikes on isis's key command centers and headquarters. u.s. and arab allies also pounding from the air at least a dozen oil refineries in syria that are terrorist cash cow, funding their mission. as turkey announces it will now
9:06 am
join the coalition to defeat extremist. we have few details what their role will be. u.k. prime minister david cameron says great britain will join airstrikes in iraq as soon as parliament approves it. meantime the despite increased military action in syria. isis continues to advance into other areas of the country, laying siege to several towns home to thousands of syrian kurds near the border with turkey. andrea, continue please. >> this is a big story. i think this matter, sandra, as you point out, follow the money. they're hitting them exactly in the wallet. $2 million a day they're making from the oil. that is small dent. they raided 9 bank in mosul they were able to garner a billion dollars. this can temporarily hamstring them if they continue the airstrikes. at least some targets are going after the money which we've been talking about for weeks. >> i say it's a step in the right direction. we were talking with ambassador
9:07 am
john bolton. they're modular refineries. easy to build and easy to assemble. you can call them prefab. >> disassemble and move. funny you don't hear environmental its say the earth is crying. president is saying global climate change is as bad as ebola and isis and we'll bomb the living crap out of oil refineries and spill the stuff and create a giant new carbon footprint. >> this is the war on oil he was talking about. >> why is this administration bending over, thanking turkey when turkey has supplied shipments, fighters, and they have been getting some of isis's oil and basically money laundering it and selling it for them? turkey has been complicit. erdogan's government says they didn't know anything about this they certainly didn't stop it. that is pretty important border to guard. i don't trust turkey and i don't
9:08 am
think they're our most important ally. >> what about is it necessary to blow up oil fields? eric bolling, said, can you just blow up road that lead to them? do you need to create environmental havoc. >> if you need to win the peace afterwards, and no oil, and everyone is impoverished. how will you win the peace. we like to build and taxpayers will pay for it. >> not nation-building, mr. waters. >> i don't know if mr. obama is in for that. we're doing all this stuff, isis rebels are apparently advancing. i don't know if it is having an effect. after the bush administration went into afghanistan, after few days it was quack mire, remember? now the rebels are advancing. where is the m during the bush administration. casualty tallies. >> i don't remember it that way. >> exit strategy? how much is this going to cost.
9:09 am
wondering is fair and balanced reporting. >> more than afghanistan than iraq. liberals and conservatives with gallonnized in afghanistan. iraq was a different matter. that's why you're seeing still so much opposition. >> very troubling, very quickly. the syrian rebels, moderates we're arming, they're denouncing airstrikes. hello? maybe should have thought of that. former vice president dick cheney slamming the president over his military strategy in syria. here he is last night on "hannity." >> when we did desert storm, we gave them whole load first night of the war. when you have pinprick attacks as they were doing initially with the respect to the arab campaign, that's what you get. you given my time to adjust. go underground. to take care of protecting themselves from those attacks and they're less effective when you telegraph what you're pogue to do. barack obama has obama
9:10 am
consistently refused to accept good military advice how he uses the force. >> earlier today press secretary john kirby defending us air strikes. >> our main function inside, bill, get at strategic targets, targets they use to sustain themselves, command-and-control and lead forces and finance themselves. couple nights ago we hit the finance center. yesterday as you rightly reported we hit oil refineries in the eastern part of the country we know is steady stream of revenue for these guys. we're going after ways inside of syria using to sustain themselves. >> so is the president listening to the military and taking their advice? >> no he ignored the military brass on number of occasions. he ignored them about leaving troops in iraq and ignored them in afghanistan. doesn't have a great commander-in-chief in libya. squandered peace in iraq. i hear he is picking targets himself from the white house.
9:11 am
he lost his campaign, he launched this campaign at nighttime when no one was around. then he is warning them when it is coming. they have scurried around. better, civilian population. >> picking targets in the drone war. doing exact same thing. so, look i have a hard time listening to dick cheney lecture people how to run a war. that, i'm sorry, they didn't do a good job. i'm not going back everything at the beginning could have been done differently except for the fact we shouldn't have gone into iraq first place. that doesn't mean president obama is doing a great job. i think it is right. he is not listening to the advice. i don't know that he is getting any food advice. this whole syria -- >> getting good advice from the men and women he put in these positions? >> i have not yet heard a coherent strategy from anybody who is saying we should be in syria. i hear people saying we should be in syria. if there is no coherent strategy, to your point, what is the plan here? what is the plan? >> i agree with you, kirsten.
9:12 am
>> that is not a plan. >> it is a horrible plan. many of us said that from the beginning. >> these are not friends. i don't care what your vetting process. if you're not fighting assad, you are against us. we will fight with al-nusra front and fight assad together. you know what? isis offering more money to the moderates than we are. only a the mare of time before they flip. >> sandra? >> i think the point is timing. if we took all of our capabilities and implement them at one time, and came in hard and fast, that that would be more effective than this -- >> you mean american boots on the ground in syria. >> no. i don't mean boots on the ground at all. instead of pin trick pricks. that is cheney's only point. i don't think that is his knowledge. he is using history. >> shock and awe, baby. shock and awe. >> that is war. >> it is. more breaking news. attorney general eric holder is expected to announce this
