[laughter] an official is telling fox news the headquarters of the kurdish forces in the center of the town has now fallen to isis. kobani's defenders are saying
9:01 am
the united states is only giving token support with its intensified airstrikes from above. isis fight user are shelling the single-border crossing with turkey right now. let's bring in greg talcott, and he's actually not too far from the action, and in the last hour we saw more smoke rising up from that town. greg? >> reporter: yeah, harris, those stepped-up u.s. airstrikes might be slowing the isis terrorists down, we heard that, but we also saw that they are definitely on the march. just about for the entire day we were listening to a real battle royal coming from that government section of the town that is in the center of the town. our sources codo confirm that isis has taken the headquarters of the kurdish defenders, but we still hear a lot of fighting, so that thing is not going down easily. isis basically controls the one border crossing between kobani and turkey. that is important because that is the only way civilians and casualties can get out of
9:02 am
kobani, and it's the only way reinforcements and supplies can get in. by the best estimation we have, the terrorists now hold about one-third of the town despite jacked-up u.s. airstrikes. by our count from the centcom releases, in the past five days there have been 32 u.s. airstrikes in and around kobani against isis targets. in the entire week before, there were only five. of course, people on the ground think -- are worried that it's just too late. as for turkey, yeah, right next to our live positions we're watching the turkish tanks absolutely doing nothing. turkey still resolutely does not seem to want to get involved. problems with the ethnic kurds, they can be rebellious as times -- at times, and it has problems with the u.s. approach to the isis terrorist group. finally harris, general john allen who heads up the anti-isis campaign was in accra yes, sir,
9:03 am
let me get that right, to deepen bilateral communications between the two countries. that is not much consolation for, according to the u.n., something like 700 civilians who are still caught inside kobani, most of them elderly. >> greg talcott, thank you very much. i want to go straight to you, eric. if we thought no one could see it, this bold-faced evidence now, i feel, of an in-house tug-of-war between the military experts and the civilian white house we have. >> right. there seems to be such a hesitation for the obama administration which campaigned on no more wars, the terrible irony is that coe banny was founded in the 900 by armenians escaping genocide. the kurds have moved in, and now it looks like they're going to be exposed to genocide in kobani because we were too little, too late. if we bomb now, we've got to bomb the town.
9:04 am
>> well, yeah. from what i understanding, they have three sides of the town surrounded, and what they're trying to do is get, you know, completely encircle it and move in toward the center, and you have all those people in the middle. you know, andrea, i want to talk to you about the politics of this because it's not just about what's happening for us politically here inside the united states. the turkish foreign minister is saying, look, you know, the united states waited so long. we're not going to commit our forces until we get a real in-writing coalition. i'm paraphrasing him a bit here. because it took the americans so long to commit anything. we don't want to go in on the ground by ourselves. >> oh, i think that's an excuse. this really is a priority for you are turkey, and it's a priority for bashar assad. this is a city this his country. so this is up to the syrian army. i don't think there should be american boots on the ground fighting this and, look, the kurds are very distrustful of us. you remember last year when we were drawing red lines with
9:05 am
syria. we actually were making promises with the kurds, to the free syrian army that we would arm them, help them x guess what? we never did. if you're the kure very little faith in the united states. they are the people we should be arming, if anything, since we've said no boots on the ground. but the turks, we can't rely on them. they have their tanks right at the border to protect their country. i don't think our men and women should be there on the ground trying to protect it. >> but this goes against most suggestions of most u.s. military generals that, bottom line, at minimum we need boots on the ground just to assess the damage and the effectiveness of the current u.s. steps that we're ramping up. i talked to a lieutenant general this morning on fox business, he oversaw training of iraqi forces during the bush administration. he specifically said we need a proper air-ground operation going because until then we can ramp up airstrikes, but isis
9:06 am
will adapt and maneuver around these airstrikes. and until then we need to put american -- >> what's the point of these airstrikes if we're not working? if we're there to try to prevent isis from doing what they're doing, obviously, the airstrikes are not working, we need to change our plan because, to me, it looks just for show at this point. it's not working. >> real quickly, because we saw the dow have so much volatility, and, sandra, i mentioned this to you in the last couple of days, and i'm looking at the associated press and reuters' wires, and they're quoting things like it's the global economy and worries about that. it was in freefall yesterday. >> over a 300-point loss on the dow jones industrial average yesterday and, of course, a lot of speculation to all of a sudden finally these geopolitical crises are weighing on u.s. stock markets. it's becoming a reality for many americans, what a threat isis is to the west. and those concerns certainly do play out in the mind of investors. meantime, the white house standing by its investigation into the secret service
9:07 am
prostitution scandal from two years ago in colombia after reports it failed to fully investigate whether a volunteer on the president's advance team had a call girl stay overnight in his hotel room. the white house insisting there was no wrongdoing, but republicans like senator lindsey graham not buying it. he wants the white house to hand over all of its records on the matter saying in a letter to the administration, quote: i am troubled by the new details that have come to light in the investigation following the incident. nearly two dozen secret service agents and members of the military were disciplined or fired. however, i'm concerned that the administration did not properly investigate or discipline its own staff. harris, he's simply just saying turn over the records, all the details of the investigation. why not? >> well, and i'm curious to know what actually would be worse, what could be more damaging? why not turn over those records? we know that somebody who was tasked to protect this president -- dozens of them, in
9:08 am
fact, these agents -- had hookers in their rooms at a hotel just before the president was set to arrive. and we know that somebody who was volunteering, a young man who now works for the administration on global women's issues which is, i think, the point andrea -- >> i think andrea said can't make this up. [laughter] >> while it has not yet been proven whether he had a hooker in his room, he's part of this report that they tried to suppress until after the election, and we know that because -- he hasn't officially been called a whistleblower, david nyland, but he's talking. >> eric, would this be totally different if it was a republican administration? >> owe. yes, it would. the irs can't find e-mails, the epa can't find text messages, it's crazy. if this was the bush administration, many members of the mainstream media would be going overboard. you have multiple people telling the washington post they were put on administrative leave for merely raising the question, and now you've got david nyland saying he had pressure from
9:09 am
above. this would be a huge story if it were a republican prime minister. >> go ahead. >> i was just going to say there's three huge angles to this, i think. there's the cover up, and judge napolitano has said, look, the government can lie to the american people, but the government can't lie to the government. so if during that investigation, harris, you asked what really matters, if there was lying to that investigator, that's a huge problem. two, they were -- as eric points out -- trying to suppress this until after midterm elections. >> right. >> three, they gave potential treatment to a donor's son who wrote a big check, again, favoring two americas, right? the ones connected to the white house and the one who isn't. and the one that really irks me the most is this is a white house that claims there is a republican war on women. and now i think we see exactly how they feel about women elevating this kid, this intern -- who, by the way, why would an intern be traveling with the president anyway -- >> they have some volunteers. >> okay, jen psaki is a spokeswoman, they trust kids to
9:10 am
do things in this white house. [laughter] >> also have a hooker in his room. >> and how many more times has he had it done, and now he's advising on women's issues? please, he should lose his job. >> what people do in their personal business, honestly, i don't have time to worry about that, but these guys were there to protect the president of the united states. that's the issue. when they're getting drunk, one agent got in trouble back in march for drinking at the dutch hotel, last year two officers taken off of the president's detail after alleged incidents of sexually-related misconduct, then the fence yum per at the white house, this -- jumper at the white house, we're starting to lose trust and faith in the secret service and that's scary because this is the leader of the free world. >> they're starting to leak now. for six years a lot of people have just put a veil around the white house, and now suddenly we're getting these leaks. is it a coincidence after some secret service agents were released that it's coming from the the secret service? >> we talked about this
9:11 am
yesterday, some agents get fired and a big donor's kid gets promoted. >> and then, of course, the question about katherine rumbler who's considered the top contender to replace eric holder. things getting interesting. well, he said what? the ceo of microsoft telling a gathering of working women, don't ask for a raise, just trust the system. and karma will reward you down the line. the fierce reaction to those remarks, plus football season is in full swing, and now we are learning the domestic violence scandals rocking the nfl could be just the tip of the iceberg. the explosive new allegations from a former team executive. ♪ ♪ you do a lot of things great.

little bit of a different viewpoint on this, and i'm going to say i don't want to attack satya nadella because this is one of his first major blunders since heading up microsoft. he doesn't typically go off script. i feel bad for the guy -- he's apologized to his employees, he said he was inarticulate in his comments, if you deserve a raise, he said, you should just ask. i think he was seeking somewhere to try to compliment women and guide women, and he just went all wrong. >> andrea, i think if you're in a woman who works for him, this is the time! go to his office, he is going to say yes to you. ask for a lot of money. >> he, obviously, has not read the book that we've all read, schell sandberg's "lean in" where women are ebb couraged to go -- >> or listen today my father who would always say, well, did you ask for it? people are not mind readers, andrea, you've got to ask for things. what's the worst gonna happen?
9:18 am
you not gonna die. he was right, i got that raise, and i didn't die. >> give him some credit, though, because he was in a hostile environment. if you look at the transcript of this conference, no one in the room was agreeing with him. i think he was just, as sandra was saying, i think he was grasping for, like, ox yen in the room, and -- oxygen in the room. it's not reality, but how sweet is that? at the end of the day, he has now volunteered to go to this new conference where he's going to do a q and a with all the employees, and he'll even take topics, questions on this topic. this is hurting. this is doing some damage. [laughter] >> you know, look, i was in a situation very recently where my boss called me into his office and looked at me and said, you have to ask me for a pay raise. i'm not comfortable, and i guess i should be, to your dad's point. but my boss insisted that i'm going to have to ask him if i want -- >> no one's going to say i'll

throw you more money. >> particularly these economic times. it's not a comfortable thing, but then to chalk it up to karma -- >> people respect just going to -- aren't just going to hand you things in life. he is taking a lot of heat for this. maybe he was implying women aren't as dominant as men. well, you got a little bit of heat with megyn kelly last year over implying something similar. watch this. >> uh-oh. >> so i'll start with you, eric, what makes you dominant and me submissive, and who died and made you scientist in chief? >> oh, it doesn't have anything to do with sub missiveness -- submissiveness, and it was surely poorly constructed. what i meant by that is when you look throughout society, look at other animals, the male of the species tends to be the protector, the dominant one. can't have it all, and they're making compromises. i'm not judging them and no one should -- >> you are judging them. you are, though, you are judging
9:20 am
people. >> i am not. >> to me, you sound like somebody who's judging and comes out and saying i'm not, not, not. there's a list of studies saying your science is wrong and your facts are wrong. >> well, that's even more awkward watching it the second time than the first time. [laughter] you know, okay, so my point was to this conversation that men seem to be, whether stereotyped or right, are more likely to go in and say i want the pay raise. i'm not, but i know a lot of guys who would, and women aren't necessarily going to go in and say i want the pay raise or go in and be as aggressive as a lot of guys -- >> you just said you as a man don't -- >> i don't. >> and i do, so that disproves your theory. >> exactly. >> i think there's reason there are stereotypes, and i do think men are stereotyped as being more aggressive and forceful on these thesish is than a lot of women are. i'm not sure i deserve to be paid what i'm getting paid right

♪ ♪ >> welcome back to "outnumbered." we're still continuing our conversation right here on the couch. with domestic violence the big issue for the nfl this season, we're hearing about a stunning admission from a longtime nfl executive. at least five players are currently involve inside abuse cases, but now the former general manager of the chicago bears saying teams failed to discipline players in hundreds, hundreds of domestic violation incidents. during his 30 years in the nfl, jerry anglo who managed the chicago bears from 2001 through 2011, says he regrets his role in ignoring the problem, telling "usa today," quote: we knew it
9:28 am
was wrong for whatever reason, it just got kind of got glossed over. our business is to win games, and the commissioner's job is to make sure the credibility of the national football league is held in the highest esteem. the bears released a statement denying any knowledge of anglo's assertion saying they were surprised and don't know what he is referring to. eric? >> you know, can i just ten back for a minute and say i think this is something bigger in culture than just the nfl. but with the nfl there seems to be this idea that you go to the nfl, and you make a ton of money, and the leagues make a ton of money, and they're going to do anything and everything to stop any impediment from making money. >> hundreds and hundreds of cases? >> i know. there's got to be some recalibration that it's not just to make money. it's unexcusable. and it trickles down in culture too. you see guy cans who see what happened with ray rice and he got away with it, and they're going to wonder i can make -- >> he got away with it for a
9:29 am
short period of time. >> for a while. until the video came out. >> you know what's interesting, in reading about this it seems like there was this idea, well, there was no policy in place before to kind of hold us accountable, so we were looking to the commissioner -- whover that might be, it might not even be roger goodell because this is dating years back now -- to hold up the credibility. what about the accountability? >> why do you need a policy in place to keep guys from hitting women? >> to do the right thing? >> i will say growing up in a family where my father was a coach, if you didn't participate, if you used because words, you didn't play in the calm. so not every coach is like that, not every player, and he's saying hundreds of players? how many people play on a football team? >> hundreds of incidents anyway. i mean, he only coached that team for, i think, seven or eight years and in that time he's saying hundreds?
9:30 am
>> andrea, the latest thing is they're now showing videos to the team coaches so they understand domestic violence. don't you think now hearing about hundreds of cases that have been dismissed over time, don't you think this is going to demand further action by the nfl? >> i do, i but i think the nfl primarily has to decide what it wants to be. is it going to be an enforcement body that's going to monitor these types of things? clearly, we should expect the police to handle these issues, right,? and the nfl to respond. i take it, sandra, a lot of these incidents are getting dismissed. look at ray rice. they're not getting prosecuted properly. so do we now expect the nfl to do the job of police and winning games? it's a question our country needs to talk about, think about, but ultimately it's up to the nfl. >> yeah. and that puts it back on us as a society. if we're going to riot -- maybe not riot, i but rally together against the nfl and get upset with them about this issue, where are the lines of people outside our courtses?
9:31 am
>> yep. >> that's where the conversation begins. if they're not going to adjudicate the cases in such a way that people aren't going to want to do this anymore -- >> you've got to have policies and watch rid owes to know this -- videos to know this is wrong, that boggles my mind. >> that's a pr response. >> yeah, but it's horrifying. >> speaking of football and sports, let's go on to a story, governor chris christie speaking out about the hazing in new jersey. some of the allegations are violent and sexual in nature, and christie calling them extraordinarily disturbing and saying it hits him personally as someone whose children played sports in high school in new jersey. >> if these facts as alleged are true, then this is a nightmare for the parents of those young men, and it tells us something about the attitude that was allowed to pervade in that program. and both of those things need to be addressed.
9:32 am
>> governor christie also sees a local prosecutor's office expect state's attorney general are now looking into all of these allegations. eric, being the "outnumbered" man on this sofa, i want to ask you about this. we're talking about the problems in the nfl, maybe is it starting in high school? can you relate to in? i don't know if you played sports in high school. >> no, i didn't. i've got a 5-year-old who's convinced he's going to be a pitcher. but this goes back to the nfl. there's something wrong with the culture of people who they see this, and i'm going to go get scholarship, but i'm going to be a multimillionaire playing ball. the odds are you're not. but to think you can get away with all these things, what is wrong with the parents whose kids are doing this? there's got to be parents involved. you can't just pass them off and say, coach, be a babysitter. >> the details are really just disgusted what happened to these freshmen at the hands of these seniors, and i'm amazed it went on for so long. we're maybe halfway through the
9:33 am
football season, and these kids have been going through it all fall, they're telling their parents? did you think about that? >> i did, i thought that exact same thing this morning. you think, okay, hazing maybe like a college fraternity, no, this is graphic, violent, very sexual, and if i were the parents, i'd be very, very upset, but if i were the boys, i would also be very embarrassed. shut down the whole football program or penalize the ones that were involved? i have a hard time shutting down the entire football program just because of the bad actions of a few. as far as i understand it, they want to shut the entire thing down and make an example. it was the same issue i had with penn state. i understand there was wrongdoing, there needs to be consequences, but the current players were penalized, and those guys did nothing wrong. so i think the school should be able to figure out who did it, penalize them and let the other players play. >> speaking of penn state, one of kids on this team was a junior last year, he's a senior this year, and he does have a scholar hardship to penn state. the -- scholarship to penn
9:34 am
state, the father's saying it still stands at point, but what about the other kids who could lose out on scholarships? >> i looked at the meetings from the big meeting they had, the school board meeting, and they had parents come out. and the minutes showed there was a lot of heated contention in that room. you know, the parents who were really advocating for their children to be able to hang on to their scholarships were vilified. but if you've spent time and investment as a parent trying the to get your child ready and that's the way to further their education, you can understand why they would want, yes, have the investigation, let's punish those who did wrong, but do you have to punish those who didn't? >> sandra, as a parent what do you make of this? >> i worry this isn't an isolated incident, and we're talking very specifically about this school, this coach, these players and this hazing, but i don't think this is an isolated incident, i think this is happening at high schools all over the country. we hope not, but unfortunately, that's probably the reality of the situation. and then you wonder why the
9:35 am
nfl's in the condition that it's in today. if these behaviors are coming up through the ranks of grade school, high school, and then they go off to college and then to the pros, you wonder why we're facing the problems we are with the nfl. >> that did happen at my high school, and my friends and i were just talking about this last weekend, we wonder what happened to some of those girls because they were ruthless and mean, and we thought who could do that? that says a lot about these individuals. those kids need to have counseling. they need to get to the bottom of why they think it's okay to do this to another human being. a helpless child. >> i know where the bullies ended up in my high school, they're total losers. >> yeah, they are. >> my mom said they would be, and guess what? they are. >> the prosecutor said they never would have done this and the school board never would have considered shutting the program down if they didn't have real reason to do it, so we'll watch to see what happens. >> good discussion. health officials saying ebola could become as deadly as aids but still insisting that the answer is not banning flights. according to a new poll,

others in texas to be included in this list. remember, the only person diagnosed with ebola on u.s. soil died in texas. he came through the airport there. enroute from dulles, unroute from brussels, enroute from liberia. so why not have this maybe for every airport that's major in america? >> it seems like we should be doing this for these international flights that come through. i'm still hung up on the cdc director comparing this to aids. if you sneeze within a meter of someone who has ebola, you're not going to get aids from that person. the whole cdc response to this is just ham fisted. and then to say only seven airports, and the screening is largely going to be temperature screening which we know that the man who came from liberia got on the plane and apparently didn't have a temperature. why are we still flying there? >> i do want to address the sneezing thing. it does have to be an exchange of bodily fluids, just to put that out there. >> but that's as far as you're

told from the cdc. you're relying on their information for what you just said, but yet -- do you understand what i'm saying? [inaudible conversations] >> someone in, they consider it airborne beyond a meter out. if you're -- >> my point is that's what we know about it today. we do know that 150 people are coming from west africa to these airports in the united states or to the united states, 95% of them are coming through those airports. >> right. but they're being routed anywhere in the country. they went through dulles, so that's on the list. but he landed in dallas, right? and what they're saying is that should also -- >> do it everywhere. >> by the way, the other nugget of the story is we saw the port authority in new jersey agree with the workers who wanted to walk off all the jobs, remember? they're tasked with cleaning up the planes? >> because that's what happens when there's hysteria and panic, and that is ensuing. you mentioned the infectious
9:44 am
disease experts that are walking through the hallways here and the doctors at fox, every one of them is saying this is overblown right now. we need to all just calm down and actually monitor the situation, make decisions and not panic matter. >> but it's hard to not panic i think for most people when they look at the government and feel like the government's not competent at handling the situation so far. people are panicked and cdc doesn't help. >> we need to make more zmapp, we need more of that. the cdc does not help either. >> mixed martial arts fighter live tweeting his arrest as he barricades his himself inside his home, prompting a s.w.a.t. team to storm inside. he looks very happy in that picture though. and a debate for a u.s. house seat takes a very strange turn after a male democrat candidate criticizes his female opponent for never having worked a manual labor job.

9:50 am
worked a manual labor job. >> she's lived a white collar life. i don't know if you've worked manually like i probably have, you can say something to a 49-year-old who's working with their body, with their hands, it's a very different thing than sitting behind a desk and operating a computer. >> she shot back attacking her opponent's wealth and the family's business. >> aaron, you're the only multimillionaire running for this race. i'm proud of my experience would recollecting in my family's -- working in my family's small business. we sell plywood delivering to companies all across this district. so, you know, with all due respect, i'm proud of my work experience, and i think it speaks for itself. >> you go, girl. >> all right. so, harris, sexist or just 19th century con descending aristocrat? [laughter] >> all of the above. i think he's out of touch. i think he got stuck. he didn't have maybe a good argument there, and he just kind of went for low hanging fruit.
9:51 am
i'm not quite sure what he was thinking. but you know what? i give her a lot of credit. she stated the facts, and i'm proud of my work experience. >> isn't this now economically the odds are that a 20 or 30-something is going to have a job at a computer and not manual labor. >> good point. look, she's very proud of what she does for her family business, working behind the desk, running sales and marketing and management. this is a serious role, and she prides herself on it. i think he looked weak and defensive in his argument. >> yeah. i mean, what do you guys i think? >> i think it reminds me of do you remember the moment when teresa hines kerry said laura bush needed to get a job, a real job? turns out she had been a librarian and teacher for ten years. i think it's going the bite him in the long run because he looked like a jerk, and she handled it beautifully, and it made her look intelligent. >> it's pretty bad when you're attacking your opponent for having a job. [laughter] is this now the new campaign theme? and he says that she's white

collar. again, she points out he's a huge mull by -- multimillionaire. you know what you haven't worked with, buddy? this right here. you dummy. >> she'd be the youngest person in the u.s. house if she got elected at 30. >> i guarantee she will. >> and by the way, if that's the logic, so president obama, bad president, didn't hold a manual labor job. how about joe biden? i don't see him out there on construction sites. shall we go through the list here? >> andrea, you worked in the family business. i guarantee she's done manual labor. >> no doubt. >> and someone called in sick, honey, i need you to go outside and help -- >> it's interesting how that plays into larger narrative of campaign season. there's this sense that washington listens to the big businesses and completely ignores small business and the middle class. >> well, it sounds like he's being -- used to being listened to. good for him. make your dreams come through.
