look at that maneuver! >> they are spelling bill hemmer i think. make it a great monday, everybody. >> we'll see you back here in an hour. "happening now" starts now. >> new developments in the battle against isis heating up in a key border town. >> i am eric sean in for jon scott. they are holding on and defending the town near the turkish border. dozens are dead on both sides and they haven't moved yet. they are waiting for the orders to go after the radical terrorist trying to take the

town. more kurds are fleeing for their life now as they face the crisis. >> reporter: the are reportss that the flash is flying in two locations of the town and we cannot con firm that but we can confirm the whole place is being pounded by the terrorist. take a look at what we saw today. sorry, i am not sure the video is working. we saw a lot of that fighting, we saw pounding of the city on the east and west side and the mountain overlooking the place and rows of tanks from the turkish military were --

where -- they were ready to fight off if given the word. the were 2-3,000 turkish fighters but they are not well armed and their ammunition is running low. they were reports a female kurdish female suicide bomb was launched against isis. they are confirmed another hit south of here hitting two isis areas but isis tanks and vehicles have been moving around in the days we have been watching. the turkish tanks are defensive. we have been seeing shells coming over but they are not offensive yet. they are not sure about getting involved in the battle even with the terrorist on their door

steps and that is making a lot of people on this side of the border upset including the 180,000 refugees. we are getting reports the isis flag is flying on the eastern side and it could be the beginning of a massacre of the city by the isis' terrorist. >> this is so tragic because the turkish government vowed the town will not fall but it appears they are doing nothing. greg live on the border. thanks so much. strong language from a top member of the president's security team about isis. leon panetta warning americans they could brace for a 30-year

war and the president's decision to rule out the ground troops wasn't a good idea. >> i feel as president and commander in chief you should keep all of the options on the able and then the enemy never knows what you will or will not do. we may need special forces to be able to work with the people on the ground and help in providing the targeting that is important to the effectiveness of an air campaign. >> bret baier is joining us now. happy morning. good to see you. let's talk about this interview. there is a lot of meat in there. there is a lot of second guessess about things like arming the syrian opposition, something we heard from hilary clinton as well, and it is raising questions about why people who were part of the administration when the decisions were made are criticizing the president's

decision now. >> we have heard this in his look and in quotes but this is eliminating new concerns. he said you have to learn from the past and not repeat mistakes but quote don't get too nervous about doing anything that you fail the make the decisions that have to be made by presidents. that is pretty pointed for the former cia director to say about president obama. it comes at a time when the policy is under attack. you have democrats like webb saying there is no clear leadership. and the statement about you don't take u.s. troops on the ground off the table is what we are hearing from a number of people on capital hill. and it is important to point out we have almost 2, 000 troops in iraq advising the units and

calling in airstrikes and helicopters are being used now, too. >> he talked about the fact he thinks the president has the country's interest at heart but is frustrated by the political process and thinks are bad on the hill. you and i heard that from democrats and republicans alike saying the president doesn't have the best relationship there and you need that to get things done. >> you do. but some are executive actions that require the trigger from the white house. he does need support of congress, but he has a lot of authority to do and make decisions on his own. and he gets into the decision making process by the commander

and chief despite pushback from many members of his cabinet including him, secretary clinton, bob gates, and others. >> let's talk over to the mid terms now. what the president does or doesn't accomplish in the next two years could have a lot to do with what happens on the hill. crucial battle for control of the senate and polls suggest the gop has a slight lead but the races are so tight at this point. >> it is tough to say. the models are showing 60% they will pick up the six seats needed but a lot are within the margin of error and you have the untapped question of the get out and vote effort and the money advantages they have over the republicans.

that doesn't always reflect on the polls. and democrats are hoping they can change the dynamic like they did in 2012. >> this may not be decided the first week of november either. you travelled to louisiana and a unique way they do elections there and we may not know who the senator is there until december. >> louisiana has to get to 50%. it is called a jungle primary. there are nine candidates on the ballot and three main ones with senator landry trying to hold on and representative cassidy is a republican challenger and there is another republican challenger is going to be hard. that goes until november 6th. it is also like this in georgia

and they are pretty close down there so watch that one. that is january 6th if they don't get to 50% there. >> the slug vest may not be over in the next month or so. thank you so much brett. we will see you tonight at 6:00 for the special report. turning to ebola and the patient in dallas, thomas eric duncan. we are told he is fighting for his life and his condition has been downgraded to critical condition. casey is live. >> reporter: officials here are not giving us any other information about the patient himself because of privacy laws. the only thing they said is he has been downgraded from serious condition where he has been all long to critical. the apartment complex where

duncan was staying with his family members was still being sanitized and cleaned this morning. hazmat crews are on the scene and the four family members were relocate today an undisclosed location. it is as a private area separate from other houses and they will remain under quarantine. the judge that assisted in this didn't where a single bit of protective clothing to prove a point. >> i wanted to family to be treated the way i would want my family to be treated if i were in the hospital and they were worried about my safety and catching this virus. i want to treat them like human beings and not a spaceman in a protech suit.

>> reporter: the cdc is watching people closely with authorities monitoring their temperature twice a day to make sure there is no spike in temperature. out of the 50, 10 are high risk exposure including family and medical staff that initially treated them. all of them are not showing any symptoms at this point so that is the good news. >> we will be following them for 21 days. thanks so much. what dennis radar is about into reveal about the torture and murder of more than ten people more than 30 years ago and why the killer is opening up. and he oversaw the removal of syrian chemical weapons and now

he is signing on in the fight of ebola and what it could mean to stop the spread of the deadly disease.

♪searching with devotion ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this... ♪takes my breath away

right now, crimes stories we are following. the pennsylvania police are coming up empty handed after looking for the man who ambushed two police officers. they say he might run out of supplies soon after authorities discovered this camp sight and seized what was there. 30-year-old kalen ladder had her car keys with her when she went out in the rain and has been missing for three weeks. a -- the bb killer is writing a tell-all book about the murders

of ten people from 1974-1981. the cdc insist that ebola will be stopped but does they there could be more cases in the united states like eric duncan. the obama administration is moving a top official to the new mission. his name is andrew weber and he has been the assistant in the chemical and biological weapons and now he is confronting ebola. judy is here and it appears the obama administration is treating ebola like a war. >> it is a war. that is the point. this war requires boots on the ground, coordination and we are going to get both because the 101st is about to deploy in west

africa and we will have 3,000 soldiers building things, getting through logistical jams and he is joining another appointed member as the special cordinator because this war, like so many efforts including isis, requires a lot of different countries and organizations to be involved and it all requires enormious coordination. >> is the president -- does he not want to be caught off guard like we was with isis? he refused the arm the syrian rebels and it appears he is being more active against ebola. >> this is something americans are very concerned about about. the war is over there and he told us we were done. this is something that people

are travelling have to fear. but the panic is warranted in my mind because we do know how to stop this in our country. but unless we stop it in africa we will not contain the disease which is what -- why what the president is doing is so important. >> why it is important for the pentagon officials and weber by the way was the guy who helped get rid of the chemical weapons in syria. he is moving from chemical weapons to ebola. >> right. he got rid of the chemical weapons in libya as well. this is the coordination at a pentagon person who knows what a global infection is like whether it is deliberate or naturally required. he knows how to reach out to the

health minister people and so does nancy powell and they will work together and make sure we don't have a situation we have in africa where you have actual supplies sitting on the ground, sitting in containers in ships, and they are not being unloaded because local politics and grudges get in the way of the delivery of health care services >> you wrote a book about this called "germs". >> right. i looked at natural and unnatural disease. and ebola is not likely to spread in your country because our public health service is so good. >> and the pentagon is on it now >> bringing the war overseas. >> exactly. thank you for joining us as always. a battle between college students and police officers leaving several dead and more than three dozen missing in mexico. we are learning where some of

the students might be. and we will discuss how locals are battling isis and if the united states is doing enough to help them. help them. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. today, more and more people with type 2 diabetes are learning about long-acting levemir®, an injectable insulin that can give you blood sugar control for up to 24 hours. and levemir® helps lower your a1c. levemir® is now available in flextouch® - the only prefilled insulin pen

we getting horrifying details about a mass grave discovered outside of mexico city and officials are saying 20 charred bodies were found there and they are impossible to identify right now. but authorities suspect they are remains of local college students who were protesters clashed with the police in a battle that left more than 43 people left. it happened in the poorest and most violent prone areas of mexico. the local police are being

investigated to see if they were involved and they killed the students. authorities say videos do show police taking away a number of the demonstrators. 30 people have been charged including 20 police officers and many connected to a local drug cartel. isis is gaining ground and gunning down a town near the turkish border. the turkish military is putting 20 tanks on stand by ready to join in. bob scales is here to discuss this with us. i want to talk about word that apache helicoptters maybe being used. what is the significance of

that? >> first, it suggests we have a permanent base in baghdad because most can't be refueled in the air so the radius is limited. it tells us the isis air attacks have been downgraded. and i think the third thing and maybe the most important thick is the value of the apache isn't in the rockets as much as it is in the sensors. apaches get low to the ground and they can look into enemy positions and that helps facilitate attacks. >> knowing what we know about the personal and advisoadvisors have there, are we playing semantics about having folks and boots on the ground?

or is this the next step toward admission of that? >> we have 2,000 advisors on the ground and they are hoping to create a stasis on the ground and they cannot do better than that. the united states is forced with choices like increasing the ground troops or hold on and let isis slowly, but surely, consolidate their position in iraq and syria and gain ground in the kurdish areas you just mentioned. >> let's talk about the town near the syrian border they have taken. reports about isis putting up flags there and such. what do you know about how critical this area is and what is happening?

>> if there was ever a place where the american coalition could make a difference it is there. the defenders are kurds and they will fight to the death and they are fighting to the death because once isis takes the area the massacres will be enormious. secondally, it is a focused piece of train where airstrikes can be effective because isis is having to go to the outskirts of the city to take it. and you have the turks in tank canyon range watching this fight unfold and doing nothing. so if we could seize the opportunity to break the back of isis and create a psychological victory over isis to prove they can be beaten it is here. but unfortunately, shannon, i am afraid it will not happen >> nato it could move ground forces into turkey if it comes under further threat. we will watch.

general scales, always good to see you. thank you. and new revelations we will tell you about and what the fbi director says we are doing to stop those terrorist before they hit us here at home. >> we know they are serious people bent on destruction and we have to act as if it is coming tomorrow.

you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it. "depreciation" they claim.

federal government bailed out wall street and what has happened since then? and the latest on a deadly typhoon that slammed in a japan and the search for hannah graham the missing universities of virginia student who disappeared a cup few weeks ago. >> they were working on attacking the united states and they were planning to do it soon. i cannot tell you if it is tomorrow or three weeks from now but we know they are serious people and we have to act like it is coming tomorrow. >> the fbi director there trying to calm the fears that terrorist could launch terror attacks on u.s. soil saying they are acting

with vigilance and keeping an eye on the fighters in syria. catherine heritage is live with more. >> reporter: the director said he is affair -- aware of the groups in syria but says there could be more. for a second time in this interview with cbs he mentioned this. >> how many americans are fighting in syria on de side of the terrorist? >> in the area of a dozen or so. >> do you know who they are? >> yes. >> each and every one? >> about a dozen i do. i hesitate because i don't what i don't know. >> reporter: he said he is doing everything in his power to monitor the people if they return to the united states. they have the right to enter and exit freely from the united states. >> an american citizen, unless

their passport is revoked, is allowed to come back so someone coming back from fighting with isis will be tracked carefully. >> he didn't draw a direct link to the al-qaeda groups even though two leaders, are long time associates of bin laden. he made a similar claim this justified the airstrikes. i am not denying certain people are bigots against muslims >> that is big of you. >> but it is so not racist. you are not listening to what we are saying. >> it is the only religion that

acts like the mafia and kills you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture or write the wrong book. what is your solution? >> they have killed more muslims than us. >> i am not saying it isn't an awful lot. these are not reflections of what we believe in. >> man, oh, man, did you see that heated debate about islam and how radical it could be between bill mar and ben affleck. he called his remarks racist and it is putting media coverage of radical islam in the spotlight. are they right or wrong? alan combs and mark is here to discuss this. mark, let me start with you.

you just heard bill marseille -- mar talking about islam is like the mafia. is that racist? >> i think it is amazing i am finding myself agreeing with bill mar but i think he is right. the way the conversation proceeded in an emotional way so quickly illustrates one of the biggest problems we have talking about this issue. we go to emotion instantly rather than facts. one of the facts is for whatever reason it is islamic terrorist who are committing terrorism around the world and that is a fact and to not deal with that as a fact makes it impossible to have a reasonable discussion. >> is it possible to have a reasonable discussion, alan?

>> less and less likely. too often talk about extreme islam gets confused with a broad attack on islam. 1.6 muslims around the world and the media isn't covering the muslims speaking out. i had a guest and he and 126 members sent a letter to isis sending point by point what they are wrong and what islam is about. too often the media focuses on the extreme side and what is being mischaracterized by the other side. >> the guest has been accused of being a person who says sorry too much. >> he is one of the moderate groups speaking out and pointing

out -- he is wrong. you cannot declare a caliphate without the approval of all muslims. they will not be able to create that. most people are not informed about the religion and the media is not doing a good job informing people. >> do you think the media is doing a bad job? just a tiny fraction are in syria or iraq or came here like the assassination in 1990 and the other terror attacks? >> i am sitting here thinking i must be in an alternative universe because i found myself agreeing with bill mar and now alan comb. >> i feel bad for you. >> that is exactly the point. the media, our colleagues in print and broadcast and cable and internet media, we just haven't done even a remotely adequate job of explaining the

difference and the basic tenets of the islamic faith versus christianity. christianity is about being saved by the grace of god and in islam you are saved by following this prescribed works. that is a fundalmental difference and you don't see that discussed. >> what do you think the media should do, mark? >> i think we should do what i just suggest and that is let's tell the facts about what islamic basic believes are and christian basic believes and what the in hindus think. in separation of church and state, christ said render into cesar what is cesar and what god and got and that is the beginning of separation of church in state. in islam, islam is the state and that is another example of

things that have a profound difference in the way society is function and we need to respect that. >> alan, your sense of the media role and if we have done a good job about this. >> i think mark is right. we need to put out the facts. and showing that the koran says you cann you cannot go after innocent people and that is not islam. the media needs to point out these people are abusing a peaceful religion. >> radical islamic terrorism is the challenge of our time and dl not go away. the fate of two u.s. airman hanging in the balance washed out to sea during a powerful typhoon in japan. we will bring you rescue efforts. and students sitting down for talks with the government in

we have live with the latest. >> reporter: only a few hundred protesters remain on the streets at this hour. some protesters dismantled barricades to allow government officials to go back to work. the numbers fell over the weekend after students agreed to talk to the government. it seems to be a combination of fatigue and fear the government would decide to sweep them from the streets. the fear it didn't materialize overnig overnight was discussed. they were warned not to stop the officers and schools that reopened today. it was a vealed warning that he was prepared to use the police

we appeal to you to come forward and tell us where hannah can be found. john already said this is every parents worst nightmare. that is true. but it is a nightmare for our son james, hannah's grandparents, or family members and her many friends here in charlottesville and beyond. please help us end this nightmare for all of us. please help us bring hannah home. >> she disappeared after levavig a party. the suspect being charged is in cus custody but please say he is refusing to cooperate with the authorities. president obama is meeting

with regulators to discuss wall street reform and six years after the bailout there is a lot of questions on how the bailout work. we have charley from the fox business network. let's talk about the bailouts themselves. did they write the ship? what is the impact you have seeing six years late snr >> the bailout saved the system from demise. some people say we should have let them go under and some said that would be catastrophic. but right after the bailouts you had the dodd-frank financial reform law and that is where we are today and i think what the president will talk about. it created more regulations but it is also hurting the economy and i think that is what the bankers will say if the

president will listen. they will say you put regulations on us and we will not lend money to individuals and small businesses. ben bernaki couldn't refinance his home and that is one of the reasons why the companies need so much collateral. he is the former fred chairman we should point out. so there are unintended consequences. less banks, more law and more risk focused in less banks and you have the same types of people. these regulators, who by the way, want to go work for the regulated entities so are not that tough on them watching over the system. >> the president campaigned about being tough on them and

senator warren said these are the bad guy and we have to stop them. but as you said, there are consequences so people can't do the basics things they need to do. >> i covered the banks for many years. i am hardly an appaology person and they probably hate me like they do warren. but when you start putting rules on them they will do stuff. they will increase fees that people pay for checking and saving accounts and on bank transactions. they have to keep collateral and capital on the side. if i had my way, if i was running the system, i would make the banks a lot smaller so if they do something stupid, guess what? they go under and we don't have to bail them out and don't have a repeat of '07 and so much risk

was in the system and i think it would have been financial armageddon. >> we will see. charley, good to see you today. thanks so much. >> brand new stories we are working on for the next hour of "happening now." the supreme court turning away all appeals on a very hot social issue. what it is and what the impact it could have. and a trial set to begin for this former church usher and charity fundraiser who was accused of killing his wife. the evidence the jury will be hearing about and the details next. next. nineteen years ago, we thought, "wow, how is there no way to tell the good from the bad?" so we gave people the power of the review.
