10:02 am
the administration is not aware of the plot. >> and ed henry. and what are they saying about this plot? >> you are right. the administration is not confirming the plot against the u.s. subways. we have a statement on the record from kaitlan. and that is a prime minister of iraq and we have not confirmed a platand have to review the information before making further determinations. and so the claims from the iraqi prime minister came. and they were still here in new york city and attending the u.n. meetings. and they target in the situation. and nypd put out a statement. they are in contact with the fbi
10:03 am
and authorities and assessing the terrorist threat to new york city and down playing it and saying they are at an elevated state of alert in new york city and watching for terror plots and not confirming a specific one in the subways. and why would the iraqi prime minister be saying this? spoke to a senior administration official in washington said when president obama met with the iraqi prime minister in the last 24 hours, come up. there is skeptism and it is in the interest of the iraqi government. there is a serious plot against america. >> trying to get more money and support out of the united states. and in the meantime, i want to ask you about the coalition of countries fighting isis. >> reporter: they had early success with getting five nations on board targeting isis
10:04 am
in syria. and a lot of troubleñr getting e european partners to agree whether uk or france helping in iraq but not syria the president is meeting with various officials in new york. and vice-president biden willñi meet with the president from turkey. that is another key ally from the region that is sitting on the sidelines and not helping. the press secretary told fox they believe the coalition is coming together. >> they trust us to be involved and a force for good in that region. that's why the arab nations are taking the fight to isil and recognize the threat itñi poseso the western allies but their doorstep. that isñr not good. >> and interesting comments from the the frenchñi prime minister we wouldn't be in the situation if the international community
10:05 am
had intervened a year ago. and that is after president assad had chemical weapons. we'll talk to you later. and a politically demanding speech, the president had to tread carefully and without alienating the nations that are critical allies in the fight. >> this is what america is prepared to do. taking action against the immediate threatsxd and pursue a world in which the need forñi such actions diminished. the united states will never shy away from defending our interest, but we'll also not shy away from the promise of this
10:06 am
institution. >> we'll talk about that with chris wallace. and notñi a lot about american leadership and exceptionalism. >> you build a coalition you can't say we are a special nation. in terms of leadership, i think the president has showed a strong hand this week. remember he led a conference to climate change and led the u.n. security counsel yesterday and trying to stop the financing and foreign fighters going into syria and today, he was speaking about ebola. and i am struck more about the degree in which this president is channelling george bush in the general assembly. and he talked about isis and only understand the language of force and if the u.s. will join a world coalition and trying to
10:07 am
degrade and dismantle a network of death which sounds like an alternative phrase to what george bush talked aboutaxis of evil. we could have used. that and that strikes me to the degree it is a very different message from the one the president said in the u.n. a year ago and talking about the fact that he was out of iraq and getting out of afghanistan and stable and secure the world s. and now talking about the world that is in terrible lack of security. you read my mindçó and no, we didn't set it up withñi your stf before hand, but we have clips that show president obama sounding very much like the man he succeeded, george w. bush
10:08 am
when he spoke to the u.n. 13 years ago not long after the attacks of 9/11. >> every nation has a stake inñ this í#acause. as we meet, the terrorist are planning for murder, perhaps in my country or perhaps in yours. >> there will be no reasoning and no negotiation with thisñrñ brand of evil. the only language understood by killers of this is force. ñi >> this threat cannot beñr ignod or appeased. >> we do not act alone. >> similar change for president obama. chris? >> oh, yeah. and we didn't set it up. but great minds think açó like. >> it is striking. this president campaigned in 2008 that he would put an end to george bush's wars.
10:09 am
andçó refused to use the global war on terrorism. and defined himself in six years in terms that he is not doing what george bush said. and more than just the rhetoric. it was the underlying message of good and evilçó and helping to confront it and maybe not all of the rhetoric would be the same. it is an a xis of evil. and you can have a foreign policy. sometimes it depends on what challenges you confront and the president confronts a threat like george bush did. and falling in the same patterns and even the idea of a coalition and not to have the u.s. go it alone. >> and confronts the final two years of his administration without theñi services of a trusted advisor and friendñi eric holder that announced he is
10:10 am
stepping down. why now, chris? and what is the impact? >> well, two reasons i think. first of all there has been talk that eric holder wasn't going to wait out until the end of the term. six years is a long time for a person to serve in a cabinet and high pressure attorney general. he's been controversial on fast and furruous and irs and voted in contempt by the house and first and onlyñi cabinet member that happen to. and another key reason is, that the president and democrats are concerned they are going to lose control in the senate. they have from now until election day and a lame duck section to get holder confirmed by a simple majority. after that republicans take control, they will haveñi to ge
10:11 am
an attorney general through a republican congress. ñr and so the feeling mayxd be betr sooner than later. >> interesting politics in all of these decisions. and the host of fox news sunday, thank you. and be sure to join chris then and he will speak with retired army general jack king on the latest air strikes on the crisis. >> they are going to have a lot to talk about. that is for sure this weekend. >> u.s. led air strikes target oil refineries in syria. hey are taking aim at the terrorist funding and publicly targeting companies that are doing business with isis. washington. who are they funding. >> reporter: the u.s. and allies andñr partners are

war and the u.s. is bestirring itself to take part. they have carried the bag against bashad assad for three years. you think it would be more in agreement with us. >> they would have had us intervene after the chemical attacks. it is not just degrading the leadership and economic targets, but the close air support to the moderate syrian fighters and not only to help them against isis but we are committed to their goal of removing the assad rei don't mean from power. that is a critical part of ours. >> thank you so much and thank you for your service to our country. >> thank you so much, heather.

10:36 am
important to remember that a young man lost his life. kevin ward's family and friends will be in my hearts and prayers. is he off of the hook once and for all? you spent time as a prosecutor. this was presented to a grand jury. ordinary citizens meeting in private and what is the level of evidence they have to reach their decision. >> they look at is there enough to charge the person with an offense. and take it to a trial. they say there is not enough to prove or say there is criminal cupability. he's trying to flag him down and during that process. he gets hit.
10:37 am
and apparently the grand snurors. it was going took criminal negligence charge. it was likely to be passed. he could have anticipated it. and therefore it would have been reasonable for him to better avoid ward. but the grand jury came to the decision. and and they have kafrjed the rowels. and if you are involved inap accident you have to stay in the car unless it is in imminent danger of catching fire. does that help stewart's case.
10:38 am

10:40 am
does that back up her claim? >> i think it would help. i would call that witness to prove my client fled in fear of damage and the woman stated. he started to harass me. she can argue i didn't hit him. he jumped on my car when i tried to flee away. it is not reasonable. and to run over the person giving you a ticket is tough to argue. >> i wouldn't be able to get away with. that and there is proof. she gave him an opportunity to get off. and he said he was scared. we'll let our viewers know what happen in the case. thank you. >> and oh, boy.
