8:02 am
a consulate in benghazi that did not meet state department requirements. >> you have to understand why a physical presence is necessary to effectuate that policy and you have to balance the two. he probably is going to be in maybe a unique position to be able to explain how the policy required physical presence. >> reporter: . based on the emails released so far. sullivan's name appears 5,000 times. sullivan was also at the center of the talk point scandal. he agreed to work with the deputy director of the cia, mike morell. and ben rhodes the president's
8:03 am
personal aide. more trel noted these points were not good and he took a heavy i' d a heavy editing hando them. it was agreed jake would work closely with the intelligence community to finalize points. it was agreed that jake would work closely with the intelligence community. >> i think mike morell is next on our list. we have six or seven coming up, but they will all be handled the same way, private transcribed interview. >> reporter: a ranking democrat told reporters he continues to push to have these transcripts knead public, especially after the nine-hour deposition yesterday of clinton aide cheryl mills. he says it seems absolute because there were so many leaks about that closed door hearing. what we learned is an abedin did
8:04 am
answer all the questions but she had a lot of memory lapses more from the questions from the reps on the committee than the democrats and you can make of that what you will. >> reporter: the negative headlines are take their toll on hillary clinton's presidential campaign sending her top staff into damage control and trying to reassure their donors. former senior advisor to george w. bush and karl rove will be here to discuss that fallout. >> while the u.s. added jobs in august and the unemployment rate fell to a 7-year low. the report is still not as good as some expected or perhaps as wall street expected. 173,000 were added last month, about 47,000 jobs fewer than predicted.
8:05 am
the unemployment rate improved to 5.1%, the lowest since april, 2008. here is a look at how stocks are reacting. down 1.5%. hi, nicole. >> reporter: that jobs report came in weaker than expected for the move august. 173,000 jobs add. not as many as expected by wall street, by the economists. while this wasn't a great report weren't interpretation here is that it may just be good enough for the feds to raise rates. but we are seeing the dow down 245 points off the lows for the day. everybody is turning to janet yellen and the market committee when they will be making their decision to raise rates that have been near zero since december of 2008.
8:06 am
in the meantime we have seen a tough week on wall street. there has been a lot of volatility, wild moves and right now the numbers for the week, the dow is down 3%. energy stocks, all down roughly 3%. merck down%. netflix down 15%. but we do have winners for the week. we have had some volatility and now the traders are looking to see what will the fed do on their next meeting and we'll find that out on september 17. right now the dow is down 242 points. >> we can upon imagine if they raise rates. thanks, nicole. >> reporter: investigators hoping newly discovered surveillance video will shep catch the suspects in the death
8:07 am
of a police officer in northern illinois. police searching for the men they believe shot and killed joseph gliniewicz. mike tobin live from fox lake, illinois with the latest. >> reporter: a lot of home for the investigators is hanging on that video. there are a number of homes around the industrial area where gliniewicz was killed. some of them have security video. one homeowner said he captured the image of three individuals who fit the description of the suspects. sow the hard drive from his security system has been sent to the department of homeland security. the department of homeland security has the best equipment to review that video. so they are hopeful it will produce images of individuals police hope will end up relevant to this case and will be able to
8:08 am
enhance a broad description of the individuals police are looking for. yesterday we learned that lieutenant gliniewicz's gun was recovered but police are being judicious in the amount of information they give. they are not saying whether it was fired or whether the gun was used to kill him, whether the suspected should be considered armed. they are only saying they should be considered dangerous because they aren't cop killers. there is nothing to indicate that suspects left this immediate area. this is kinds of a holiday area with a chain of lakes. you have got a lot of people stream offing in town for the holiday weekends. >> reporter: the u.s. is feeling pressure to get more involved in europe's mushrooming refugee crisis. millions of syrians are fleeing their war-torn country and
8:09 am
migrants from afghanistan as well. the u.n. is asking the u.s. to take in 65,000. critics say the united states needs to do more as the world watches these images that at times are horrifying. william lajeunesse joins us with more. >> there is no legal obligation on the part of the u.s., but is there a moral responsibility? germany is taking 800,000 by the end of the year, most from syria. the u.s. has taken in fewer than 800 syrians. aid groups wants to jump that up to 45,000 by next year. but there are security concerns that terrorists will use the asylum process to enter the u.s.
8:10 am
>> i think we could raise the number. i would like to see the number go up. maybe to 100,000 a year overall of which 30,000 or 40,000 could be syrian refugees. >> reporter: while the world is watching europe, experts say the real problem is in lebanon, turkey and jordan which have already taken in millions of refugees, far more than europe. the u.s. limits the amount of refugees we bring in each year based on geography. right now we take in roughly 30,000 middle east refugees * mostly from iraq, pakistan, afghanistan and syria. 13,000 from east asia. mostly from burma. the administration said sit had
8:11 am
no plans top increase those numbers or rush the vetting process for refugees. >> it's an expensive vetting process. folks coming from that part of the world, we need to obviously conduct a thorough review process. and it takes anywhere from 18 up to 24 months. it's time consuming. >> reporter: syrians are difficult. to do a background check you need to check records. something the f.b.i. and homeland security can't get. but with those with medical needs the threat is less likely and authorities say that could be expedited. the long-storm solution, syrian stability, it doesn't look like we'll be seeing that anytime soon. >> reporter: questions about what russia or china are doing to help the matter or make it worse. >> reporter: we are after he waiting a meeting between president obama and a leader of
8:12 am
the key ally in the middle east. the king of saudi arabia. the white house says the president and the king will talk about an agreement restrict iran's nuclear program and the american pledge to step up defense against iranian aggression. they will also discuss security issues and counterterrorism efforts. >> reporter: hillary clinton's campaign staff appears to be moving into damage control mode and trying to keep the big donors happy. we'll look at that scramble with karl rove. an arrest is made after a terrifying machete attack on a university campus.
8:13 am
8:14 am
8:15 am
leland: a shooting at a sacramento city college leaves
8:16 am
one person dead and two people injured. at least the two of victims were students. the short is still at large. campus police say he was among a group of men in an argument when he pulled out a gun and started firing. a jury found annex las vegas firefighter guilty of murder and conspiracy. the penalty phase of those proceedings starts today. a man is under arrest after injuring two men with a machete in a wooded area of the university of arkansas campus. the suspect was hurt in the melee. police say nobody involved is believed to have been a student there. molly: the negative headlines around hillary clinton appear to be taking a toll on her favorability ratings.
8:17 am
now some of her donors are starting to get concerned about the email scandal. how can she reassure her supporters. we have karl rove. you are someone who knows how to run a campaign. you were watching hillary clinton's campaign try to move forward in has been a drip, drip, drip. is it possible to move forward with so much weighing over? >> the mistakes have been made not simply in setting up the private server but handling the news of it once it became public. for 7 months we have been given a series of deliberately or unintentionally misleading in the statements by the campaign that turned out not to be true. so for 7 months she has been offering up defenses that get
8:18 am
knocked down by the facts. they are in a rough place but they are in a rough place in large part because she set up the private server and when it became public there was a private server, she and her campaign mishandle this every step of the way. it's not going to get any better anytime soon. we have some of her aide appearing on capitol hill for testimony. then we have a big moment in october when she'll be called before the benghazi committee. molly: the f.b.i. is looking at server and the responses have been interesting. her spokeman says he doesn't know what wiped means. when asked by ed henry if she wiped her server, she said with a cloth or something? what's your response to how they are answering this question about wiping a server. >> if he doesn't know what
8:19 am
wiping a server is, he ought not to be in that job. of course they know what it means to wipe a server. for hip to say i don't know what it means. it means he's either a complete idiot or he thinks he can mislead people. it boggles my mind. why not say i know what it means to wipe a server and we took of what necessary steps. he explanation they gave is not accurate. yesterday they said secretary clinton knew right from the beginning this was allowable. you know what? i find that mind boggling. what person in the office of legal council at the -- legal counsel at the department of state did her top aides talk to to get permission to do this? her spokesman raised it saying she knew from the beginning this was permissible.
8:20 am
who told her it was permissible. i can't think of a single lawyer in government who would say you are the secretary of state handling highly classified information and you can have all that email traffic on a server first in your basement then in the broom closet next to the lavatory of a company in denver. i can't think of a single lure who would have aloud that. molly: we are getting word folks in her circle are reaching out saying don't give up. we are still in this, there is still a possibility to win. but has she lost that inevitablity? >> holding hand which takes a lot of time in any presidential campaign. you are going to have nervous nellies who will say i have an idea how to do this better. but her inevitablity is less a
8:21 am
factor of how strong her candidacy is or how strong she is as a campaigner.she is a wear campaign has been look luster. does anybody think bernie sanders, martin o'malley or jim webb are credible opponents? the calendar does benefit her. she is likely to lose ohio and new hampshire. but then the calendar turns to place whereas she ran well in 2008 against barack obama or if somebody is going to do well they will have to do well among southern african-american democratic leaders whom she has cultivated over the last few years. appreciate it. leland: in arizona, a second

leland: a quick look at what's still to come this hour of "happening now." sharp words from donald trump. he said he was dealt gotcha questions on a radio show. prosecutors say a man pushed his wife off a cliff to claim thousands in life insurance money. the lowest gas prices in a decade. time to fill up.
8:33 am
molly: family friends and police are paying final respects to an officer shot and killed last week, harris county sheriff's deputy darren goforth *. >> reporter: we were here first thing this morning when the hearse pulled up in front of the baptist church here. it was a powerfully quiet moment when the casket was taken inside. lots of american flags waving here. lots of people wearing blue in support of law enforcement. the funeral service scheduled to begin in 25 minutes or so. following the ceremony people will come outside where there will be a 21-gun salute and a helicopter flyover.
8:34 am
then the 10-year veteran will be laid to rest in a private ceremony. it has been a week full of tears, vigils and gatherings at the chevron gas station where deputy goforth was murdered. people are showing up to pay their respects and also with the hopes of raising awareness. >> this community will miss a good officer. what we need right now is a lot of healing. rather than anger. and we need for the community to understand most of us are out here are here to help, we are here -- we are out here to do good. >> reporter: an estimated 8,000 people are expected for today's service that includes law enforcement departments from around the country. before we went on the air we saw nypd officers so people have
8:35 am
come from all over to pay their respects. molly: so much for the entire outpouring there. leland: donald trump punching back at a conservative radio host after struggling in an interview. >> i'm look for the next commander-in-chief to know who al-baghdadi, and nasrallah. and al-zawahiri. do you know who they are? >> by the time i get to office i think they will all be gone. >> i don't believe in gotcha question. >> it is a gotcha question.
8:36 am
i'm not meeting these people or seeing these people. leland: after admitting he's not familiar with the major players in the war on terror. he had some choice words this morning about hiew about hewitt. >> when he said quds, i thought he said kurds. every question was do i know this one and that one. i those said kurds. i do think the kurds are not being utilized properly and not being treated properly by us. leland: was hewitt playing gotcha or asking questions a presidential candidate should be able to answer. dare i say both women who have asked a lot of the questions in their time. judy, you heard the questions.
8:37 am
was that gotcha or foreign policy 101. >> it was both. asking people hot leaders of these organizations are that we are fighting and have been fighting for more than 20 years is not exactly out of line. on the other hands individuals are hard for people. this is not like asking somebody the difference between a sunni muslim and a shiia muslim. but hugh hewitt knew of what he was going to do was put donald trump into a position he doesn't like to be in where he has to offer specific answers to questions. so the question was fair even though it was a bit of a gotcha. on the other hand donald trump complicated his performance at the cnn debate because hugh hewitt will be one of the people asking those gotcha questions and there will be more of them. leland: a lot of people say it's rich to ask these questions
8:38 am
consider weighing said about the questions to trump during the fox debate. >> it was one gotcha question after another. you are sitting in scratching your head. >> i couldn't understand the questions. there wasn't much of a debate, i think they were out to embarrass donald trump and they effectively triggered it. leland: is this the'calling the kettle black? >> i think yes. hugh hewitt had to know, being in radio, that audio is sometimes hard for people to make distinguishing points and hearing the different between kurds and quds. you have got to give people a break and say i'ming about the canadian prime minister and the mexican president so you set it up. but having said that, i think you come to the interview with some background and have something to say when you are
8:39 am
asked about a region of the world. leland: hassan nasrallah, and these are not major players on the stage. how are you going to say you are going to kill who he is. forgive me. >> your drone is going to target someone. this is donald trump, this is what he does. then he tries to turn it around and attack the person asking him questions. if islamic radicalism donald trump says is one of the great challenges to this country an has not given any specifics on not offered any plans for fighting it. carly fiorina was asked the same question, handled it
8:40 am
beautifully. said we have got to cut off the money to these groups. she knew of who the players were, she knew of the movement we were fighting. donald trump seems to be completely clueless. >> here is the analogy. can you imagine if we were architects and builders and went to the meeting and said we are working on the trump project here in washington and just kind of trust us, we haven't worked out the electrical where the soacts are going to be and we don't exactly what the cost will be for the roof, but it's going to be great. leland: history does often repeat itself. as we look back and see outsiders who have come to be the favorite month at one time or another during political debates, they also got tripped up by foreign policy questions. you might remember this exchange regarding herman cain.
8:41 am
>> are you ready for the gotcha questions from the media on foreign policy? >> i'm ready for the gotcha questions and they are already starting to come. when they ask me who is the president of uzbekistan i'll say i don't know. do you know? then i'll say how is that going create one job. leland: that argument didn't work so well for herman cain. does it work for donald trump? >> so far it does. so far donald trump defies laws of political gravity. and a lack of specific knowledge about the problems facing this country. other than saying i'm going to do it because i'm donald trump so trust me. i don't think this will cut it but so far i have been wrong. leland: lynn, are you willing to make a prediction?
8:42 am
>> i think at some points people understand that people aren't trying to give him and s.a.t. test, but you have to bring something to the table. everyone knows even if you do a home remodeling project, there is a learning curve. i think donald trump has to bring something more to the table because if nothing else as time goes by, it may not happen forever. and i don't see why he doesn't want to have some interest in knowing a little more and to get beyond bluster. but as judy said. if you are saying whatever he's doing is working, it doesn't absolve you of the responsibilities of knowing more, just in case you do become the president of the united states. >> reporter: there was a great journalist who said to me it's not the questions that get in trouble, only the answers.
8:43 am
appreciate your insights today. happy labor day. molly: federal prosecutors say one man violated his vows by killing his wife. but will the jury hear about how his first wife died? special delivery to outer space. why this trip to the international space station took longer man usual. diabetes, steady is exciting.

8:47 am
the longer flight is because the i.s.s. had to adjust its orbit to dodge space junk. molly: opening statement will begin next week in the case of a man accused of pushing his wife to her death. her husband harold told police it was an accident. but investigators say he couldn't explain why he had a park map with a big x marked where she fell. and she was not his first spouse to die under unusual circumstances. whitney boland joins me now to talk about this. let's kick off with you. is this tough to prove. a close, big empty area and no witnesses. will it be difficult for prosecutors?
8:48 am
>> i think this case is solely based on circumstantial evidence. you have got no witnesses. you have got a coroner who said it was an accidental death and later changed the cause of death. you have someone married to someone with a large life insurance policy. that does not make him guilty of murder. this could just as easily have been an accident. whether he's guilty of it or not, the government has the burden of proving the case and i think they will have an uphill battle with this. molly: prosecutors say he changed his tory a couple times and he didn't say the same thing when he talked about her falling off the cliff. that he had gone receive times to the area. >> it's a circumstantial case but it's motive and opportunity. in this particular case it come down to a lot of credibility. it's the misstatements about the
8:49 am
next messages. and the next messages don't add up. now that the judge said we get to talk about the prior death, the wife who had the $500,000 policy, the car goes off the jack and she dies. it shows he knows he will get insurance money in the event it's an accidental death. a person who falls off a in mountain the same way somebody gets pushed or if they accidentally fall. the question comes down to credibility. it looks like he has a lot of witnesses lining up against his credibility. >> reporter: the first wife died in 1995. they were allegedly changing a tire that wasn't completely flat and the jeep cherokee fell on her and crushed her. will the jury know about this prior wife dying under unusual circumstance? >> i think this will come down
8:50 am
to the strength of the witnesses that the government has to be able to try to show that this is someone who was always intent on murdering these women. he was solely seeking to gain money. that was his motive and that's where he's coming from. it's not going to help. them having a circumstantial case and adding in that evidence where they are going to be arguing, hey, he did this before, he knew it would work. i think this may strengthen their case to some extent. i don't know that i think this means it's a done deal. i think he might be found not guilty. i think there is a lot of questions that will be unanswered. he doesn't have an obligation to explain himself. molly: the trial is set to get under way next week. thank you both for joining us. leland: if you are hitting the road this holiday weekend if you

>> gas is cheap. >> reporter: experts say there are many reasons for plummeting prices. the chinese economy, the glut of crude oil globally. trim a tells us with gasoline being so cheap around the country drivers will do pretty well no matter where they go. >> it many estimated the average driver will save $15 to $25 this year compared to last. there are bargains to be had all over. you just have to kind of look for them. >> reporter: you can find apps on your phone and they will tell you where you can be frugal with your fuel. leland: thanks, laura. molly: a young dentist murdered
