"happening now" starts right now. we begin with a fox news alert and a lot of news in the nation's capitol right now. >> we are waiting for's brand new white house action. as a security gets grilled. this is "happening now". >> the guys leading the khorasan group are senior al-qaeda leaders. al-qaeda has core operatives including syria >> now the u.s. must understand the group of cold blooded killers. it is the only way to take them down. six students killed and dozens

more injuries and the suspects are police officers. and mysterious disappearance of a young coed breathing new life in a cold case. linking hannah graham to another young woman to another young woman, it is all "happening head of the secret service on the hot seat on capitol hill and law maker ares try to get to the truth about the braiser white house security breach that was more dangerous than anyone thought. i am shannon bream. >> and i am eric shaun in for jon sot. >> the army veteran armed with a knife and jumped the white house fence and got inside much further than we were initially

told. secret service said said he only made it to the north port co. and then the story was he was inside of the door and now he made it to the east rom of the executive mansion. darril issa accusing the secret service of not telling the truth of what happened. >> we have an automated system that can look down the white house. 800 million a year. millions more in your tenure each year than the president's request. and that door was unlocked with no one standing at it when mr. gonzalez came through, is that correct? >> the dorwas unlocked at the time of mr. gonzalez's entry, that is correct. >> here is congressman trey gowdy and back and forthwith secret service director julia

pierson. >> and so as i understand it. several agents believed that the shots were fired and the super visor concluded it was a vehicle back firing, even if that were thorough, given the small investment of resources, why not investigate the shots fired. >> representative, that is where the the confusion came out. >> i am not asking you about the washington post story. why a housekeeper who doesn't go to glenn go and doesn't spend 14 weeks of training and 18 weeks of training found glass and your agents did not. >> not only the republicans questioning the credibility and competency of the secret service. here is the democrats expresses concern. here is massachusetts congressman stephen lynch. >> i listened to your testimony this morning and i wished to god

you protect the white house like you did the reputation. you had three shots and three chances and he got to the greenroom in the white house. what happens when you have a sophisticated organization with, with nefarious intent, and resources going up against the secret services? what happens then? >> that is the question of the day. we are waiting for the white house reaction and we'll bring you that as it comes. >> this is the fox news alert. the uk with strikes against isis in iraq. they have been in action over iraq today. the intelligence community firing back in president obama's claim that it underestimated the threat from isis saying that the administration got many warnings. the militant terror groups is

stepping up attacks on a tourn near turkey. it is forcing people from their homes and raising the possibility of a massive blood shed. nshannon, the briefing is set to get underway. we'll have the latest on the bombing campaign. the latest figures are there in addition to the british strike. there are 66 air strikes in syria 43 by the u.s. and 23 conducted by a coalition aircraft. and then in iraq, 224 air strikes in total, primarily conducted by the united states. the affect of this bombing campaign thus far? the pentagon said it is only the beginning, and this is going to take a long time. there are omnisc signs ahead. the kurdish city is besieged by isis fighters in the past couple

of weeks and reports of hundred thousand kurdish people fled. the fighting so close to the turbish border 30 tanks are pointed from turkey toward syria isis artillery shells landed in turkey and whether turkish forces can halt them without the u.s. boots on the ground. >> one thing that ticks me off here, is the surprise we have about the inability of the iraqi army to take the fight to isil. it was all predictable three years ago. >> on that note, there are reports that the president has no one to blame but himself for the failure to recognize the growth of isil orri sis. and that he missed 50 percent of his intelligence briefings and that report this morning, state department spokesman said that

is not the case. she tried to dismiss and push back against those reports. >> there is no validation of those statistics. i worked for the president and there is a range of ways to get your intelligence briefings. >> there is a different between watching a terrorist organization grow and watching the iraqi security forces lay down arms and buckle and not fight back. she said that is hard thing to track. shannon, back to you. >> thank you, doug very much. >> right now another case of ebola. we are waiting the prelimary tests on a patient in texas whom they say shoes signs of the ebola virus. the patient is held in strict isolation and the doctors are taking the case seriously based on that person's travel history. here's more.

johnathon. >> the story is unfolding as we speak. public health officials expect to get the prelimary ebola test results by midafternoon. that patient remains under strict isolation in texas health presbyterian hospital in dallas. based on the patient's symptoms. a male had recently travelled from liberia, one of those west african nations affected by the wost ebola outbreak. the nonprofit parent organization said the hospital is following all centers for disease control and texas department of health recommending as to insure the safety of patients, hospital staff, and volunteers physicians and visitors. patients who show up with u.s. hospitals with fever or stomach pain are placed in isolation and tested for ebola if they

recently travelled to west africa. this happen over previous months and in each of those cases test results came back negative. sources tell fox, that investigators are looking at flights that the patients took on the way to africa, although apparently he had no symptoms during the travel which makes the risk of infecting other passengers low. if he is infected with ebola and we will learn more about that within the next couple of hours. former secretary of state hillary clinton will not run for president in 2016 but sounding presidential and keeping policy issues front and center in the appearances and. peter nicholas writes, mr. obama defeated her in the 2008 primary in part because voters found the message

inspi inspiring. mrs. clinton is bemoaning what she calls the evidence free zone in american politics and celebrating data as the indense penceable tool in choosing the best options. >> we'll discuss this with johnson. will she show up you know at roundtables and deep policy things having discussions about the nuances of fiscal policy or saturday night live? >> i don't think we'll see these policy discussions on saturday night live, but two things are going on. she wants to build a substantive record and we saw her run on that against obama. there is buyer's remorse by the democrats and he promised hope

and change. and you will so an attempt to bill hillary clinton's softer child. there is a lot of grand daughter and the dancing and you will see bofth those things that work. and at some point she would have to offer a unifying principle that is more of a slogan data, data. >> jonah she doesn't concentrate on personality. when she tries to nuance in that area it doesn't come across as real and people don't feel that way. and if she sticks to policy, does she risk coming off wonky or too robotic? >> i think everything johnathon said. i would want the issue to be

something other than my personality if i were hillary clinton, too part of what is going on, it is an implicit rebuke of the obama years. hillary and obama had an argument whether it was the inspiring aal mlk model or grinned it out and work from outside. democrat voters wanted mlk and this is what we got in obama. hillary is saying you made the wrong choice and go with me and i am am going with what works and talks about the data stuff as if she has unique insight in the best practices and role answers. for me, it is a bit of a con the idea of hillary clinton being nonidea logical is ridiculous. that's what people want to hear. >> even if they are in the right or left, there is some that is

going to appeal to. names come up and you have discussions and they say it is no cha ris maand i don't think they would connect with people. johnathon, how much is that a part of the equation? >> it is not what we are going to get in 2016. certainly clinton will run on being substantive and nerdy if you will. and again, it is implicit as jonah was saying and a implicit criticism of barak obama. it is not backed up. and so look, the successful republican candidate against hillary clinton is someone who will go toe to toe with her. and there are several republicans that can do that. >> johnathon last word. >> it is a replay of gore

strategy who called for ideaistic pragmatism. she is talking about evidence based optimism. very few people died for slogans like evidence based optimism. and i am not sure it will work in the end. >> all right. great to see you both, thank you. eric. >> shannon, an olympics super star getting in the dope end with the law. busting swimmer michael phelps and isis and another terrorist group that has deep roots in al-qaeda. why did we learn about that group last week and what they want and what they plan to do against us. >> the khorasan group is not focused on the assad regime or syrian people. they are establishing roots in

syria to advance attacks on the west. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

>> right now a celebrated olympicsian is a repeated offender. police arrested michael phelps. he was pulled over in baltimore after going 84 in a 45 miles per hour. the 22 time olympics winner is facing charges of driving under the influence and he was arrested for dui in 2004. we believe that the khorasan group was nearing the execution phase in europe or home land and we know that they have attempted to rekret and infilt trait back in l home land. >> the joint chief of operations. and shortly after they hit isis

targets and aiming as khorasan. he sounded the alarm about those terrorist six months ago long before the terror group and iminant plan to attack us. we have the tom joining us. tom, why should we be worried about the group? >> everyone is thrown for a loop by the group. but it is al-qaeda. they have regenerated the leadership and expanded in the globe. they talk about the core and it is decimated. we are over again look at what the president said. al-qaeda is on the run. al-qaeda on the path of defeat and bin laden is dead.

al-qaeda is on the heels and osama bin laden is dead. nal-qaeda is on the run and osama bin laden is dead. al-qaeda is on the run. they ran to syria. >> basically what happened. senior leaders of al-qaeda decided it was a launching pad and they relocated the tellent over the last two years. they re-established the bases elsewhere. >> and how come they only made it public now with the air strikes and surprised everybody. >> you don't want to let everyone know what you are doing. and tell them who they are following. and the leader is going on and off more than a decade. and probably had afore knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. they are experienced. none of them has a twitter account with 20,000 followers. >> that's right.

and he's active on it in a direct basis. >> it comes down to intelience and their whereabouts. there were press reports that came out. and saying that the khorasan group is something that we need to target. >> was it effective. i think they were partually effective. >> part ideally effective and the terror threat continues. terror in the heartland. and charges in the suspect. and brutal beheading with a co-worker. will this be a deth penalty case? sfshgs and golf ball hail shattering windows and temperatures dropping more than 20 degrees in a single day and more severe weather on the way. >> you heard hard impact and we had over 500 cars on the lot and every single one of them got

damaged and looked like it nowed in september.

a party? hi. i'm new ensure active clear protein drink. clear huh? my nutritional standards are high. i'm not juice or fancy water. i've got 8 grams of protein. twist my lid! that's three times more than me. 17 vitamins and minerals. and zero fat! hmmmm. you bring a lot to the party! yay! new ensure active clear protein. 8 grams protein. zero fat. 17 vitamins and minerals. in delicious blueberry pomegranate and mixed fruit.

>> questioning the competence and ability of secret service ability to protect the first family and president. we are awaiting the white house news briefing and expecting a reaction to the hearing on capitol where julia pierson defended the agency but admitted problems. there are allegations on capitol hill that the secret service did not tell us the truth of how far he got. they said he was in the front door and then now it is the east rom before he was tackled inside

of the white house and next to the greenroom. we expect answers momentarily from the white house. one tip, lock the front door. shannon. nalways good advice. severe storms expected in the plains and midwest and bringing with them possibility of large hail and tornados. folks in the denver area know all about it. quarter size hail doing damage. denver itself saw mostly rain and that dropped heavy now. and great for skiers and not so much for commuters trying to get home. >> and first-degree murder charges are foiled against the man in the horrible beheading. arthul nolan went on attack. and he only stopped when his boss who is a reserve sheriff's

deputy shot him twice. it happen after he was suspended from the food plant. he was trying to convert co-workers to islam. praise to osama bin laden and the 9/11 attacks against the united states. casy ste gal has more in moore, oklahoma. >> reporter: just when you thought you heard it all in the awful and bizarre case, even more troubling details came to light, released by the district attorney. during the time of the attack, that suspect was running around inside of the food processing facility weilding the knife and according to the district attorney, he was using a rabic terms and what he was saying is still unclear. it was believed that he was brought in human resources last

thursday for disciplinary action and left that action to immediately carry out the attack. we now know that he left. he was escorted off of the property and went home and got the weapon and then returned. the da said it shoes calculation here and he was finally stopped after an executive shot nolan before he managed to hurt anybody else. nmr. nolan is in the hospital. and so with these charges, once he's released from the hospital he will be arraign the and i will be meeting with the family in the next few days and once the decision is made to pursue the death penalty. there will be a bill of particulars that will be filed and giving the defendant notice that we will be soaking the death penalty. >> and there is no terrorism statute in the state of

oklahoma. if there are links or toys to terrorism, we know they will be pursued in the federal level, the fbi is here on the ground investigating this as well. >> and they said it was work place violence and not terrorist attack. thank you. a man who was linked to the disappearance of a college student is now linked to other cases. how his arrest could solve the murder of another woman. >> they will make sure this is the person who killed morgan harington. and responsible for the disappearance of hannah gram which is really paramount.

pro democracy demonstrations are growing in hong kong and setting a dead lean for the chief executive to step down. david piper is streaming live from thailand with more. >> reporter: tens of thousands of protestors remain on the streets of hong kong. they are blocking major areas. the government and protestors seemed to have hardened their position. the embattled chief executive of

hong kong cj long urged them they would. and they have again refused and called for him to resign. hong kong chief excutive faced mounting calls to go. he used teargas and pepper spray. he has the backing of/beijing. they are overwhelmingly peace excel so well behaved, they clone up their own rubbish. they are students and prodemocracy activist from the local population. they are on the streets for what they call china's meddling in the fiscal system that is undermining democracy there. they want a fro vote and china decided they must approve candidates and/beijing opposes all kinds of illegal acts in hong kong that undermine the rule of law.

and begenning that it is an unternal matter and other countries shouldn't get involved. the white house supports union versal sufferage in hong kong. it seems likely more people will join the protest and the leaders have as you said issued that demapped that lun should go. >> oregon could dump the failed obama exchange. it has cost taxpayers there 300 million and turned out many of the people who signed up for the health insurance in that state. they had tax credits miscalculated and could get bigger tax bills on april 15th. i. there. joishgs the debate is not whether to kill cover oregon or

how soon. it is a mess from the beginning. ♪ long live the oregon spirit. >> reporter: the state received 300 million in grants and spent it on the advertising campaign and the rest of supposed to build a state-of-the-art website. it never worked. not a single person could enroll from start to finish. and democrats in oregon, agreed to pull the plug on cover oregon but want to wait until february. >> we have to insure that the transfer to the federal system works. because the most important thing now is that oregonians when they apply for insurance have a system they can go to. >> reporter: it will cost taxpayers 20 million.

that is for 800 people. they now owe back taxes. republicans say enough already. >> there is politics at play here. we all need to be adults and say this failed and we need to move forward and do the best thing for the people of oregon. ndemocrats controlled the governor's office and so the party would have to agree with a special session. so far they have not done that. back to you, eric. >> and thank you so much, shannon >> there is a significant break in another case. jesse matthews was arrested in texas last week accused of abducting 18 year old graham more than two weeks ago. but forknowsic links it to

another missing student there. police have not said how these cases may be linked. joining me now is a criminal defense attorney. welcome to you both. >> good to be here. >> thomas, this is your client at this point. what do you think and how do you advise them? >> i would advice him to stay quiet. and probably a very good opportunity to engage the prosecutions and so if they can get death penalty taken off of the table. the more you learn about the case, the more evidence is linking jesse matthews to one homicide and this abduction and a possible homicide and sexual assault and other victims in the last few years. it looks like a difficult situation for anyone's client to be in. >> for the proscoug. >> and pick up right on that and this is your come to jesus

moment. tell me where she is now. and hopefully she is still alive. tell me where she is. and identify and find her body so the parents have closure. you do that and perhaps i would take the death penalty. and we have a forensic link. we have a big new piece of evidence out there and that could help you as a defendant. you don't come now or before that arraignment on thursday, that's it if they find the victim. and that is. and that is what we think it is. it is blood or finger print or dna evidence. you know, shannon as well as i do that works in a courtroom. >> yeah, if you have multiple cases. one that we have a link to and other unsolved cases in the central virginia region.

and we had a former detective on this morning and sources told him for the cases that are unsolved even when the victim survived this guy was living in the area and of course they are going to see if there is a link to him. what is your take on if it turns out he was listeninged through the strength. how do somebody get away with criminal attacks and murders when people say he is a gentle giant and he's volunteering with football teams. >> ted bundy and charlesy manson. krieps and where they occurred. charlottesville, virginia is one of the most peaceful and quiet areas of the south and a small southern town and everyone knows it for the university of virginia. and where the victim was last seen, it is outdorwalking mall

and high end restaurants and ca fes. it is hard to imagine a setting like that. >> ted bundy was a law school student and smart and good looking and hand system and able to get the women to go out with him. serial killers don't always look like we think. >> and i had a bet, this victim volunteerly lured into him. and he was a charmer. >> he charmed himself all the way to the police and then took off running. >> that is guilt. >> so bizarre. how do you if you are a defense lawyer for him now. how do you use it. saying he did try to show up and say what happened? when you flee, i don't know what you would say. >> it is very difficult. the prosecutor will use the

guilt evidence. and the judge's instruction to the jury is not tough. the judge will tell jurors there is a lot of reasons that an innocent person who is falsely accused of a crime is difficult. he got spocked. and put anybody in those shoes; they might do the same thing. >> and the dna and forensic evidence is important. >> and dependoth forensic evident. >> we'll find out son. >> and good to see you, eric. >> and trying to end the nationwide problem. a prescription pain killer epidemic and one doctor's group said physicians have to rethink the way they think of the drugs. >> and uss aircraft carrier interrupted a training mission

and performed a real life rescue at sea. we'll bring you that straight ahead.

>> i am gretchen carlsson. coming up on the rool story. this is inside of the war room. and today is our one year anniversary. senator scott brown will be here and the secret story on capitol hill and the surprise guest. this is my crew. what else is coming up. >> tiny hamsters and the truck of a naked truck crash. >> and scoop in the inside breach. >> i could not do it without

their upon help every day. so you in a few minutes. >> the aircraft carrier uss theodore roosevelt coming to the the rescue for a group. the fisherman was stranded in a life ra ft. the crow coordinated rescue with another vessel. they are okay after medical evaluations on board of the ros velt. >> how about that. >> and the fight on prescription drug abuse. doctors should be more cautious when preskroibing prescription pain killers and the potential for short term pain relief does not out weigh the risk of those drugs. the academy is coming out with things like lower back pain and headaches. >> and we have more in baltimore. doctors this is a nationwide

problem and an epidemic. why the change in >> this is the boldest statement from a doctor's group. the narcotic class of morphine and oxycontin shouldn't be used for routine problems because people are addicted to them and long- term problems. this is not a naturally occurring disease to be addicted. it is a manufactured problem and doctor's groups are saying we are over prescribing medications and we underprescribe them, to. >> it is too easy for doctors to fill out a prescription. >> if you have 15 minutes with a patient and someone demands a narcotic refill for their problem, it's very hard to get in to the intricate and

a weaning and tapering plan to get off those medications and we are tempted in our consumer culture of medicine to preskroib that. a lot of countries only prescribe if you have a second-degree burn or fresh out of surgery or cancer. >> if you are suffering from pain and taking them now, what should you do. most important thing to meet with a doctor that specializes in pain management. good doctors that come up with a long- term weaning program. i give medications coming out of surgery as a surgeon and we make it clear. they have to have a plan to reduce medications otherwise you have risk of addiction. celebrities can get on narcotics for a short period of time easy to stay on them long- term. and half of those folks on for

a short period of time are on them years later. >> something we have to watch out for and look for the change. >> shannon. >> thank you, eric. paper or what would a ban on mrast i objects do to your wallet at the check-out counter? >> a very troubled region just south of our border. six students dead, and more than 20 police officers under arrest. the outrage is growing over that situation. (vo) rush hour around here starts at 6:30 a.m. - on the nose. but for me, it starts with the opening bell. and the rush i get, lasts way more than an hour. (announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that's why we've built powerful technology to alert you to your

snirchlgts right now jerry brown is preponderanced to sign a bill imposing its first-ever statewide ban on plastic grocery

bans. several of these bans exist in cities, like san francisco. it would allow grocers to charge 10 cents for paper or for reusable bags instead. meanwhile, los angeles is doing away with a 60-year-old law that requires all skyscrapers to have flat tops and helicopter pads on top. it was originally designed to help firefighters in an emergency, but it turns out officials say that new technology has now made that flap top requirement obsolete. nearly two dozen police in mexico on the other side of the law in the deaths of six students. that's after violence swept through the streets in the southern state of guerrero during student protests there. at least 50 students are missing following the chaos. will carr has more from our newsroom. will. >> reporter: here's what we know, shannon. pure chaos broke out in this part of mexico over the weekend. this is in the southwest part of the country in the troubled state of guerrero. statistically speaking, this was

the most dangerous part of mexico throughout all of last year. this is a region that is run by gangs. on friday and into saturday six people were killed. 25 wounded. 57 students are now missing. now, we want to know that no americans were involved in the clashes that took place, but here's what happened. authorities say a group of radical students seized three buses trying to take them to the capitol for some sort of demonstration. that forced police to arrive. the state attorney general says they then killed two protesters. witness saz unidentified civilians showed up when all of this is going on and started shooting as well. it's still unclear as to what happened after that, but a youth soccer team got caught in the crossfire. a 15-year-old from that group was killed. witnesses then say they saw police taking 40 students away from the scene. we don't know what happened to those students after that. authorities are now investigating 22 police agents have been arrested. that sparked protests both yesterday and today. again, no americans involved, but needless to say, shannon,

this is not a very popular area for tourists right now. >> yeah. i would think not. will, thank you for keeping us et. first it was the u.s. and some of our arab allies. then france. well now britain has joined in launching its first air strikes against the islamic terrorists of isis in iraq. this is the pentagon podium right now. in a few moments we are expecting to learn more about these efforts at the briefing. where they are heading? how the attacks are going? what's next to try and take apart the islamic state? ah! come on! let's hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car? are you crazy? let's hide behind the chainsaws. smart. yeah. ok. if you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. it's what you do. this was a good idea. shhhh. be quiet. i'm being quiet. you're breathing on me! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance,

you switch to geico. it's what you do. head for the cemetery!

they got and they called police. deputy parker approached and cut them free. the deer seamingly no worse for the wear. another reason we love law enforcement. how about that sh.

>> absolutely. plenty of reasons. >> thanks for joining us. "the real story with gretchen carlson" starts right now. >> thanks, guys. we start with a fox news alert. brand new reaction from the obama administration on two major stories today. the white house briefing underway is happening right now. the pentagon is going to begin shortly. the white house fielding questions over security as the head of the secret service takes the hot seat on capitol hill, and the pentagon updating all of us on the fight against isis terrorists. we're going to bring you the news as it happens. keeping it real right here throughout the hour. we have fox news alert because fireworks on capitol hill as the head of the secret service add noits a serious lapse in security and lawmakers now questioning the agency's ability to actually protect the president. hi, everyone. i'm gretchen carlson. hope you're having a great day. we're here to bring you the real story. today the secret service director on capitol hill as embarrassing new details leak out about the security breach earlier this month. the armed intruder
