12:08 pm
assurances from the president about his personal access to the president? >> secretary carter, mr. carter -- has not been confirmed yet -- is somebody who will be afforded the privilege that previous defense sects have which is a weekly meeting with the president of the neutz the oval office. that's extentsive access and then the secretaries of defense have needed to communicate with the president outside of that weekly meeting, the president has been very responsive. >> now, people close to secretary hagel told me he, beyond that weekly meeting, because of nature of battling isis, the situation in afghanistan, other crises round the world, we seek other meetings with the president and was sometimes blocked from getting in to see the commander in chief. >> lots of opportunity here for the president has detractors to point out all the problems around the world and they're not getting better. >> right. what it also interesting is the
12:09 pm
detractors, say, republican lindsey graham, is saying he thinks ash carter will get confirmed because he thinks he has strong credentials but is wondering again about whether he'll really have the clout going up against some of these white house advisedders -- advis say they have questions about the president's leadership. >> going through four secretaries of defense or three in six years, maybe you ought to be looking at yourself instead of the secretary. >> but retired general jack keene today said that the knows ash carter very well and he thinks he is going to be able to stand up and speak his mind. >> good to see you, ed henry, live at the white house. let's bring in whys wallace. the host of fox news sunday. times are tough. secretary cohen was candid to say if a never seen it like this. this will be a very difficult job for this man. >> going to be a difficult job in terms of the problems on the world horizon, it's also a
12:10 pm
difficult job because of the relationship between the pentagon and the white house. look, the previous secretaries of defense under barack obama, you had first bob griese had some scathing things to say in his memoir about president obama. then you had leon panetta, who had scathing things to say about president obama in his memoir. chuck hagel -- i don't know if he recall write a book but won't be complimenting him, whatever forum it takes. so you have to say, is it them or is there something as chairman mckeehan said about president obama and the people he surrounds himself with in the white house, and that's been the common complaint is that this white house likes to micromanage, likes to second-guess, and to a certain degree they cut the pins out from under the secretary of defense, whoever it is, ash carter is obviously the kind of a guy who makes the trains run on time. was deputy secretary of defense,
12:11 pm
the number two job in 2011 to 2013, but the question becomes whether or not, when it comes to real issues of policy, strategy, whether or not -- i'm sure he'll be able to meet with the president but will the president listen. >> some washington talkers toll me that ash carter wasn't at all upset when he got passed of nor the job the last time and some were surprised he was cool with it now. >> therewere two people who took themselves out for the running. michelle flournoy, a top deputy secretary of defense under both clinton and obama. >> that's the first name we all summarized thought, going to be she, and she jumped right out. >> the first woman and then she took herself athlete running and 0 kid jack reed, top service member in the senate and a democrat. he took himself out of the running. it's not like this is a prize, this job. and there was some question whether -- how far the president was going to have to go to find somebody who would say yes to it.
12:12 pm
ash carter very highly respected on both sides of the aisle. almost certainly he will be confirmed. but the question is to how much he will be listened to once he gets the job is the real issue. >> the confirmation hearings will be interesting. i you're from the opposing party and are not happy about the world, here's you forum. the whole country will be listening. do you have anything else to say, chris, by the way? >> i -- you know -- >> you normally talk about your man dak prescott. >> well, yeah, i had a feeling that's where you were headed. >> you had so much to say, a lot to say a couple of weeks ago. i was thinking your fans out there, might like to hear some more. >> well, what we could talk about is, what's mississippi's record, 7-4, isn't it? >> you're ponderous, 9-3. we're winning the egg bowl and you believe egg bowl would -- >> harvard undefeated. >> i think we won -- >> what is -- >> rather easily.

the woman accused of butchering an american school teacher in the restroom of a mall may not have been working alone police are now telling abc news. abc news is reporting that cops the united arab emirates arrived other people while raiding the suspect's home. no word whether they're connected to the attack. on monday the suspect stand and slashed the teacher with a kitchen knife, aisle while dressed in traditional arab clothing. the suspects plantedded a bomb outside the home american but police diffused that. this happened in abu dhabi this glitzy capital of the united arab emirates. it's home to more foreigners than citizens and more than noun americans live across the country. investigators say the suspect targeted those two americans because they were from the u.s.,
12:34 pm
not because of any personal reason. police have not said whether she was tied to any actual terror group. back in october, the u.s. embassy in the uae reported a jihaddist web site forum called for attacks on american teachers in the region, and now "time magazine" reports we werers in an bow dab by are worried extremists may target them. who wouldn't be. trace gallagher has the news from los angeles. what are we learning about the suspect. >> the employs identified the suspect at a 38-year-old citizen from the united arab emirates originating from yemen. no one explained how they arrested this woman so quickly. she is covered from head to toe, including her face, and disguised her license polite, police say they got valuable tips. we know she used a very large kitchen knife and not only did police find other suspects at her home, but they say the home served as a safe house, a base of operation.
12:35 pm
the state department didn't have a lot more to add to that. listen. >> we're not -- we have some folks on the ground who may be helping out in some way, from a law enforcement perspective. >> but certainly bombmaking is one of the things they're looking at as going on inside that safe house or base of operation. >> what were saying about their evaluation about the safety of other we werers -- westerners around there? >> they're concerned where the stabbing happened. the mall is the first floor of a very large apartment complex and it's filled with americans. especially a lot of american teachers. keep in mine, abu dhabi has long been a very highly secure place and it's very tolerant of americans. now that you have these jihaddist web sites calling for attacks on americans the concern level is rising you. see an attack that happened in saudi arabia a couple of months ago two defense contractors. one of them killed. there were
12:36 pm
three other attacks in saudi arabia and isis claimed responsibility for at least two of those attacks. so the security is clearly a concern, which is why the state department has now put out an alert warning americans in those areas. >> trace, thank you very much. abu dhabi. hard to imagine. we have staff members who just got back from there john bussey is here. >> united arab emirates, abu dhabi is not known as a dangerous place. it's an ally of america. it has been very much assisting america in its fight against isis. it has stood behind the united states. i think that what you're seeing is what we have seen in the past. that americans traveling abroad, in places where groups have been agitated against americans, if they're exposing. thes in those areas they're at risk to the point that several u.s. embassies in the middle east, as trace was alluding to,
12:37 pm
warned in october that these jihaddist web sites had said, we're going to target americans, target american teachers, and that is what happened this week. >> the reason they target teachers because they don't believe young women should be educated. >> and it's also teaching western values and western sometimes religion, i think it depends on where the teachers were coming from. this one was from colorado and had worked abroad in a number of areas, was teaching kindergarten but was probably more than anything just an american, and, therefore, a target. >> and a teacher. >> yes, and the -- in abu dhabi the officials are saying, look, we don't think there's any affiliation but we don't know yet. we don't think there's anything beyond they fact she was an american, and so was this doctor outside of his home, this bomb was found, an egyptian -- ethnically egyptian but an american citizen, and the authorities are saying, just because they're americans, that's why they were targeted. >> abc reporting that other
12:38 pm
suspects were arrested while they were -- this video, john, do we have a clip -- this video has been doctored up by the uae. it now has a music bed so there's -- this is how -- keep playing it. that's fine. this is how they sent it to us with this crazy music in the background and weird editing. it's like something from a bad elementary school edit. it's terrible. >> you don't see what is going on there because she is dressed the way she is. you wonder how they were able to find her. >> who is she? >> looks like there were people that tipped them off, and it's a surprise they also found individuals in that home that helped her. >> did they release this -- we're out searching, we have our big guns, put some music underneath and it look at this weirdness here. something ain't right. >> some is probably to reassure westerners who are investing in the united arab emirates that it remains a safe
12:39 pm
place. remember in not so far away saudi arabia we have had several attacks recently against a canadian, dane, and an american citizen, and in the case of the dane, isis has in fact claimed responsibility for that shooting. >> all right. john bussey, thank you, sir. the reporting today is at wsj.com. the chance of catching flu might be a bit higher this season. yesterday officials at the centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta said the new flu vaccine is not working as well as others have in the past, and now they're saying it's really too late to make a better one so we're stick with this one. still, the vaccine should prove some protection and they're urging everybody, especially those six months old and older -- everybody six months old and older to get the flu shot. cdc officials say it takes them four months to make a new now shot and that the current virus has already mutated since they made it for the season. flu hits he hardest during the
