>> so he said he wouldn't drink the water. >> what do you think, life on mars? what do you think? what do you think? let us know. i think there is. "happening now" starts right now. bill: very good. jenna: hemmer kind of wasn't sure, wasn't sure. we'll talk more about that. what do you think? jon: no martianses in this studio. jenna: not yesterday anyway. we'll turn to our top story today. house majority leader kevin mccarthy launching his bid to become speakerrer of the house. house republican is odds-on-favorite to replace john boehner since the speaker announced his resignation on friday. i hope you're off to great day with no martians as well. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. house republicans are dealing with avoiding a looming government shut down as they elegitimate a new set of leaders. congressman mccarthy described how he would unite a divided gop caucus if he is elected speaker.

>> change the culture. you bring people together. you set an agenda that drives people. that agenda has to change lives of everyday americans. the other thing that is quite different than i see from perspective is, we have to unite. we're in some of the worst times we ever have been in. we see challenges around the world. we see the challenges economically. we need to stop governing by crisis and start solving problems the. jon: joining us now, the political editor of townhall.com, guy benson and former advisor to new jersey senator frank lautenberg, julie roginsky. you can understand the frustration with the house of representatives. they won 63 seats back in 2010 after the first two years of the obama administration. they won back the majority, yet they feel like many of president obama's big programs are still in place, programs they were elected to undo. what are they supposed to do?

>> well, tough when president obama of course is still in office, right? but there has been prevailing sense now for a while that some changes were necessary. i think some of the criticisms and frustrations we've seen drugged at republican leadership from the grassroots have been well-founded. others in my opinion have been more misplaced. that is neither here nor there. boehner is out. the question becomes what happens next? and i think what i'm concerned about is, the poem who have been whispering or even shouting for boehner's ouster more than a year at this point, they have to answer two questions. first one, how do you shift the political dynamics that led to this dysfunction and this frustration. secondly, who is the leader you can coalesce around who can lead you down the path and make changes you envision? looks like no one really stepped up from the outside. it will be boehner's top lieutenant who will replace him as speaker of the house.

mccarthy sounds like a good guy. you could make the argument he is less conservative than john boehner. that question next, what happens and very much open. jon: he was heavily involved in recruiting the class of 2010, that class that won back the majority from your democratic party. so is he a guy who visited in homes of many of these candidates and has the personal relationships to make it all work? >> you know it is amazing, you're so right. class of 2010 is reason they have the majority. the reason john boehner is noner speaker. when you elect these people, john boehner was part of that, certainly kevin mccarthy was as they demand as guy pointed out results. we do constitution and separation of powers and filibuster in the senate is still in place. which promises they made to people who elected them in 2010 could not possibly come true. they don't have veto override votes in either house or senate. as i said the filibuster is still in place. the democrats still have a

happened what happens in the senate despite not having majority. most importantly barack obama will be president and he will be until 2017. the problem they can not deliver on all commitments they have made to their supporters. which means that john boehner had to go. i suspect kevin mccarthy will face much the same fate. he will not be able to effectuate getting around the constitution. that is not possible. jon: kevin mccarthy is odds-on-favorite to win the speaker's job. a guy named sean trend writes this in "real clear politics." he says, the biggest accomplishment of boehner's term as speaker, keeping the warring factions of the tea party wing and establishment wing away from each other's folks. there is no guarranty mccarthy will be up to the task. there is a reasonable chance he won't be. if he isn't, conservatives could lose everything. he suggests, guy, conservatives might rue the day john boehner turned in his rest nation. >> who is up to that task? that is the question i keep

asking, right? when the whispers and the frustration with boehner would vent out and there were discussions about deposing him as speaker, and i don't think anyone is expecting him to just leave the way he decided to do and resign from congress. when there was question, okay if boehner is gone, who is next speaker of the house? some of the names conservatives mention all time, jeb hensarling, jim jordan, paul ryan, tray gowdy, none of these guys want the job. some extent this is thankless job. you will have factions. always a segment of caucus brining because they're upset about tactical disagreements good luck to kevin mccarthy or replaces boehner as i said, core dynamics how to fight, when to fight, those disagreements are not going anywhere. they remain in place. jon: julie, do democrats sit back and watch all of this, chuckle? >> the old rule you break it you own it.

the point was just made, i think very apt point, let's say the tea party bottom exactly who they wanted as speaker. biggest fantasy, whoever that person is, became speaker tomorrow. that person would be deposed a year or two, three, four, five, because that person can't deliver on anything they promised to deliver because again you still have a democrat in the white house. that democrat does have the ability to veto legislation and they're just not enough votes to override the veto. this is fool's errand. john boehner is right they are false prophets if they expect results from anybody. it is an impossible task for this house republican caucus. jon: politics is the art of the possible. >> exactly right. jon: julie roginsky, guy benson. jenna: in america's election headquarters, chris christie getting a big push in his run for the white house. the new jersey governor announcing a pac of powerful endorsements in iowa. same group of iowa king makers who pushed him to run in 2012 are back in his corner.

chief political correspondent carl cameron will explain why this matters. he is live in des moines, iowa with more. carl? >> reporter: hi, jenna, tough have my voice down because the candidate over my shoulder is talking to the audience and press about the endorsements. these are not any six iowa republicans. these are six iowa republicans big-time gop iowa donors and insider in above terry brand set, longest serving governor in iowa history and inner circle and serious power brokers. iowa is not necessarily about the lofty rhetoric you hear in debates and other con dates. when it comes to iowa, it is about making relationships and caucus that comes late in the evening in february. only 120,000 people in the state of three million will participate on republican side so it matters. these endorsements give mr. christy serious organization. comes the question whether or not he can actually put together

money to last to next year. he has been having a tough time in polls in iowa. he is putting most of his emphasis in new hampshire. scott walker who got out of the race eight days ago, week ago yesterday created an opening. does chris christie have money? those are questions being asked. i talked to him a few minutes ago. listen how he put it. >> unlike other campaigns i'm not chief strategist of this campaign. i'm the candidate. they tell me where to go to raise money i go to raise money. tell me generally what i do in the campaign. i let them operate the strategy. my job what kind of president i will be and retail politics to win this race. i don't worry about the money. >> reporter: truth is, jenna, they are all worried about money. tomorrow is the final day of the third quarter of fund-raising for this year and the third quarter is always the year where candidates try to bank the most possible in order to fund their campaigns when actual voting starts next year. at this point, jeb bush considered to be the

fund-raising leader between his super-pac and his campaign of the chris christie had reasonably good showing early on. he needs to put serious money in. needs to put time in iowa. when scott walker is out, when he says i'm not chief strategist as he did in the interview he is specifically referring to scott walker and rick perry, candidates who got involved in day-to-day process and tactics instead of coming forth with leadership and ideas. christie is concentrating what he wants to do for the country the meantime there is a major scramble going on behind the scenes working exactly that process of raising cash. jenna. jenna: important point to pay attention today and every day. carl, thank you. jon: the controversy over planned parenthood is taking center stage right now on capitol hill. the organization's president is testifying as a house committee holds a hearing on the taxpayer money that planned parenthood receives. peter doocy live in washington with more what is going on there. peter. >> reporter: jon, right out of the gate republican members tried to offer solutions.

basically they don't have a problem with federal money going towards women's health. they don't want it going to planned parenthood who they describe as spending a lot of money doing things they shouldn't be doing. >> take the money, from the guys doing bad things and give it to the ones who aren't. take the dollars from one private company, doing what the speaker said, barbaric things, and give it to federally-approved community health centers. >> reporter: this hearing has been emotional at times with chairman jason chaffetz impacted breast cancer in his family that planned parenthood didn't do enough for breast cancer. the ceo, cecile richards is playing defense. >> to entrap our doctors and clinicians into breaking the law and once a opponents failed. >> reporter: so planned parenthood is trying to frame the hearing as attack on women's

health and women's rights. they continue to insist the under cover videos that started fight were illegally recorded and deseparate i tiffly edited. alliance defending freedom, presents analyst, who hired analyst, coal fire, who reports that the videos are authentic. the report confirms,ed ditz made to full footage videos were applied to eliminate non-pertinent footage, restroom breaks, meals and other similar periods lacking pertinent conversation. the house hearing room is packed with supporters and opponents of planned parenthood. both sides are warned to behave themselves. so far we haven't seen any outbursts. jon? jon: there will be fireworks throughout the day in that testimony no doubt. peter doocy. thank you. jenna: keep an eye what is happening in washington, d.c. we can't forget what is happening in new york city. president obama is sitting down with cube president raul castro

this morning right in new york city. in united nations we're waiting for president of ukraine to address the general assembly. eric shawn with the latest news. a rick? >> reporter: hello, general y give us gitmo back and oh, yeah, fork over $1.1 trillion that you owe us. that's right, 1.1 trillion with a t. those are the demands of raul castro. communist leader of cuba sitting down in the last hour with president obama in the u.n. the first formal meeting between the to since the decision to normalize relations with communist nation. it was remarks that castro gave to the general assembly calling for reparation for u.s. that sent shockwaves. among the demands return of guantanamo bay. we know it as the prison with the terrorist detainees. president obama vowed to close it. it is 45 square mile naval base we lease for $45,000 a year.

castro wants it back. >> translator: long process begins towards normalization of relations. but this will only be achieved with the end of the economic, commercial and financial blockade against cuba. the return to our country of the territory illegally occupied by the guantanamo naval base, cessation of radio and tv broadcasts of subversive and destablizing programs against the island. and, when our people are compensated for the human and economic damages they still endure. >> reporter: well the president now is addressing a special summit dealing with terrorism which he again reiterated the day after he had his confrontation with vladmir putin that the u.s. could potentially work with russia and iran. as for the claims from cuba, the state department will have talks later this year. we should note, when castro's

brother fidel took over, he confiscated an estimated $7 billion worth of u.s. assets. maybe they can deduck the 7 billion from our bill. jenna: issues to work out. eric, thank you. jon: a major afghan city now in the hands of the enemy. how the u.s. is helping afghanistan take back a provincial capital from the taliban. plus police on a high-speed chase through several interstates. how this one ends. we want to hear from you. chris christie just announcing some big endorsements in iowa. will it be enough to give his campaign the leg up it needs? our chat is up and running. talk a little politics. go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. this little guy is non-stop. he's always hanging out with his friends. you've got to be prepared to sit at the edge of your seat and be ready to get up. there's no "deep couch sitting." definitely not good for my back. this is the part i really don't like right here.

(doorbell) what's that? a package! it's a swiffer wetjet. it almost feels like it's moving itself. this is kind of fun. that comes from my floor? eww! this is deep couch sitting. [jerry bell iii] deep couch sitting!

jon: right now some crime headlines we're following. a man accused of kidnapping and torturing two women in portland is arrested in mexico after being on the run for 24 years. 45-year-old paul jackson will

have court proceedings in mexico before being brought back to oregon. four hour standoff between police and armed manholed up in illinois health clinic end peacefully with the man's surrender. authorities say the man opened fire when entering the clinic. employees and patients able to evacuate as police arrived. oklahoma city police sent on high-speed pursuit on shoulder of multiple interstates. they made the arrest while the car overturned trying to make an exit. troopers have not said why they were chasing the car. jenna: major city in northern afghanistan just a four-drive from the city of kabul. first time that happened since the u.s. defeated the taliban in 2001. now the u.s. is launching airstrikes to counter enemy forces. conor powell live in the newsroom. you spent years living and reporting in afghanistan.

i'm glad to talk to you about this. tell us about the area where the taliban attacked. why were they focused there? >> there were reports as far as back as the springtime that taliban were strengthening in northern kunduz province. this is pretty remote area. this is the sixth largest city. it is a important part of the trade route but far away from the eastern and southern parts of afghanistan where taliban traditionally had strength. there were reports that taliban were gaining strength and gunning for kunduz city. that attack came on monday. reportedly several hundred taliban fighters moving into the capital city. taking control of several buildings including a hospital and a police station. taking over significant parts of kunduz city. now the afghan security forces launch ad counterattack backed by us air strikes. in all honesty, jenna, it will likely be successful. they will probably drove the taliban out of much kunduz city

but the real damage has been done. a large part of the u.s. strategy is to build up afghan security forces. to convince afghans, that the government was viable, that it was strong. that it could take on the taliban. this is a real blow to the message of the overall afghan security forces strength because it is proof that the taliban are still strong. they can still launch attacks and they can even succeed. that is something with he haven't seen in other parts of the country where taliban and kabul launched attacks that failed. here in kunduz they have taken over the significant part of the capital city. it sends a real blow and bad message to afghans across the entire country. >> still have thousands of u.s. troops in afghanistan right now, with the goal of continuing the training of afghan security forces. what are you hearing about their work and where it goes from here? >> so, even before this attack by the taliban on monday i was hearing from u.s. officers who have spent a large part of their

career training and working with afghans across the country. there was a real concern that the training isn't what it needs to be. and their concern that these 10,000 or so american troops that are there aren't down at the platoon, at the company level, at the battalion level. they're not embedded with the average afghan soldier or police officer. they're at core level. average afghan soldier or security official is not being trained day in, day out by u.s. or other nato soldiers. that the afghans who unlike iraqis are really willing to fight the taliban to engage in combat are not getting proper training they need. these 10,000 or so american troops are essentially sitting on bases monitoring the training and helping day in and day out at core level but not lower levels, the guys who actually need "training day" in, day out, jenna. jenna: maybe raises questions about the strategy to what could actually be accomplished there. conor, great to have your

perspective. thank you. jon: a young college student in california found dead in a burning apartment. two men are in custody now while police look at more closely at the victim's recent brush with the law.

jenna: two men are under arrest for suspicion of murder of a sorority girl in los angeles. her body was found in a burning apartment. firefighters found this ucla student as they searched the apartment last week. police now arresting two, 22-year-old men on suspicion of murder, one of them eric mark keys, we have his picture. the other, alberto medina. he has no connection to the campus. we want to mention two suspects here. rod wheeler, two homicide detectives and.

rod, there is alleged homicide and alleged murder. they're setting fire to the crime scene. what strikes you most about this case? >> good morning to you, jenna. what i can tell you investigators there in l.a. they have been working extensively to find out the connection between the victim, andrea and these two men. a lot of information has surfaced. real quick the investigators said it is combination of forensic evidence found at the scene, which is really interesting. i talk about that in a minute. as well as eyewitness statements, jenna, led them to the two suspects. real quickly, what type of forensic evidence could they have found? i suspect, i've been involved in investigating homicides as a result of a fires before, what we tend to look for initially is the type of accelerant that was used to ignite the fire. now that is the first thing. the second thing, and this is so important, in that apartment at the sorority home where andrea was found, there were working

smoke detectors. in addition there was nothing blocking the doors. so the question for investigators in a case like this, if that is the case, why didn't she try to escape? that is why they believe maybe she was killed prior to the fire being set. jenna: some interesting twist and turns to this story as well. the sorority girl we're talking about is referred to often as andy. she is 22 years old. a psychology major from texas. she was arrested earlier this summer on charges of drug possession. she was supposed to appear in court. we have different reports exactly what she was arrested before. one paper, rod, says she was arrested for possession of ecstasy, meth, lsd, and hallucinogenic mushrooms with intent to sell. that is interesting twist. how does this impact this case. >> excellent question and here's why and this is exactly what the investigators looked at. now when she was arrested, this was in june, this past june, she was due to go to court on september 25th.

on september, the morning of september the 21st is when the fire broke out. one of the two suspects just arrested charged in her death. guess what? he was supposed to be in court that week as well. now what we don't know at this point though, jenna, whether or not he was going to court with something related to what she was arrested for but what i believe and i think what the investigators believe, maybe she was going to testify against one of these suspects and usually in a situation like that, what you have to do is put the witness in the witness protection program because if you don't, what is going to happen is, one of these suspects will probably try to kill her. that is what i think we see in this case. jenna: wow, that really adds a whole other element about this. what about the sorority? she is member of sorority but the sorority is not been mentioned in the investigation. one has to wonder about that. would you look at the sorority itself? >> the sorority sisters have been interviewed. from all the reports everyone

was saying andrea was well-loved person. she was active on the lacrosse team of was a fourth year college student. what happened in this case she got mixed up with these thugs. they took advantage of her. i will tell you this too, at her apartment, the morning of the fire, the police have already said that they have eyewitnesses that saw someone running away from the building. >> rod, really quick, could law enforcement be in part to blame if somehow it got out she was going to testify against these individuals, that they didn't offer her proper protection? this is hypothetical now but you presented that scenario you have to watch out for witness protection programs, if that is indeed something you're heading towards? >> right. you know he what? in all these types of cases you always want to consider that you try to convince the person that is going to testify that they need to be in that program. sometimes though, jenna, they don't want to become part of the witness program. i don't think law enforcement is to blame per se. something we always look at. jenna: we don't know if that is

part of the case. this is all very fresh. >> that's right. jenna: a story we'll watch very closely, rod. thanks very much for your expertise. >> thank you, jenna. jon: violent crimes like that one are surging in american cities these days. that is prompting the federal government to send more help to local crime fighters. one police chief says officer morale plays a huge role keeping streets safe. how are you feds doing on that? he joins us. plus huge losses on wall street yesterday. how the markets are trying to recover. what it means for your wallet.

major urban centers prompting questions about how to make sure it doesn't spiral out of control as the national debate ranges over interaction with local communities. crime in some areas reached a level where the federal government is getting involved and the justice department is needing five cities to receive more help over the next few years costing california is one, little rock, ark. west memphis, ark. newark, new jersey and clinton, mich. other top five. i'm joined by captain myron johnson of the sheriff's department who will implement the network that we are going to talk about in a moment in chief james craig of the detour department receiving additional federal help. nice to have you both today and i would like to talk about

violence in general. violence is up in some cities, and in your cities are experiencing a step back in violence and i want to talk about that. why does it feel and why does it seem violence is up across the country? >> i have often talked about the lack of support. no secret across this country than narrative now is entire police rhetoric, some municipalities, absence of a lack of leadership, and reflective in how police officers are doing their job. i experience low morale is coming in the door, and once the morales started to increase crime began to decline. some big believers that when you support cops, that is not just

to adjust when a police officer is engaged in criminal misconduct of police chief of police agency takes inaction, that is not reflective of the entire police department so we should call it what it is and absolutely support our cops because it does matter. cops count and leadership matters. >> do you see that in your specific area? being one of the issues? >> absolutely. it is a difficult time for us with this sentiment out there, not as a whole, and to portray, extremely difficult time, and meeting challenges we have been hiring personnel to do the job and we hope we get the best candidate and folks that want to be the most effective and do this professionally. >> it is a tough job, law enforcement in general, you and speak to that because of your wide-ranging experience.

talk a little bit about the justice department here. why is there a role for the fed in local issues? what exactly is the federal government supplying a city like detroit as part of the special program? >> no secret we just came out of bankruptcy. the city of detroit is making tremendous strides in the right direction and federal help certainly talking about grant funding which we experienced, ability to hire additional police officers, ability now to approach on body cameras, those things matter, technical assistance at the summit providing ability to exchange information with other law enforcement partners including federal, those do matter but as i like to reflect it is a tool in the toolbox and this is why i

put emphasis in the men and women make this sacrifice, making our cities safer. that matters. it also matters were collaborative leave. >> you have been part of this program, coming in 52 years, up a grant money but there is also the assistance from the fbi, the marshals service's, and those resources are available to you and i want to ask how you see that working in wisconsin because you're beginning the program but you have seen that over the last year. what has been the impact as far as crime rates in your community? >> let me say we have been trimmeding down throughout the last two years and some months. what this has also done, one specific thing the program has done for us, we have seen a decline in domestic related to the tune of 30% so that has worked well during the process

of hiring analysts to assist us with mining data so that support is a critical tool, the we have been waiting for, we help the overall mission. >> some of those resources will be available, how do you see utilizing the resources that have been available to the city of detroit? >> like the cheese mentioned we're going to look at our current crime strategic plan, we are going to look at the resources the federal government has to offer us in terms of additional training, additional technical assistance, access to subject matter experts and looking at the agencies that are currently in the program by this reduction network program and looking at things and seeing how they were effected in those

communities, those ideas for networking, already in, bring some of those tools back to the city to make it more safe and even isn't. >> you have seen just like chief craig in your own community there has been a slight reduction in crime that you have been able to buy yourself. one is the expectation with the help of the federal government? do you have a goal as far as percentage decline you would like to see or specific area you would like to focus on? >> overall in the city of compton we are trending downward for the past 15 years since we assumed responsibility, we trending down, we have overseen the slight spike in gained related crimes. and it remains low, homicide is too many, we will be working

closely with federal partners, u.s. marshals service to combat some of these issues that are chronic in our community and go back the high profile of vendors and work towards developing an improvement strategy to affect the crime rate. >> we want the streets safe for everybody and give us something to think about morales so, no, should pay for their own costume. let me say that. that is one thing we can do a regular basis. great to have you both. we appreciate the perspective and look forward to checking back and seeing how things are going. >> fox news alert big swings on wall street, the dow dropped more than 300 points yesterday, stocks are trying to rebound, becton% of that amount but these wild swings becoming the new normal. what does it mean for your

bottom line? lauren simonetti from the fox business network live with that. >> the crystal ball, volatility means your 401(k) is looking drastically different date today as the market moves in big directions in both directions. the reason for the volatility is china slowing down and the federal reserve standing down on interest rates, policies of the makers telling us we mostly favor a rate increase this year. the fear is they will not hike because they think the u.s. cannot handle a small bump upwards. in the meantime you have to expect gyrations like we are seeing, the 312.1 plunge for the dow yesterday already today we have seen as swing of 176 points. i want to point out of this month there have been eight days the dow has moved 200 points but that volatility can be your friend or your enemy. when you have massive selling put stocks on sale, you can scoop up great companies for less.

on the flip side volatility especially when vicious creates anxiety, shrinking portfolio, seriously makes you want to reach for the value, can't handle this. >> exactly right. lauren simonetti, keep us calm. >> don't look at the 401(k), it will be fine. >> high-stakes meeting between president obama and president vladimir putin now when the books. how will this meeting impact the current crisis in ukraine? we will take a look at that. she could be the first woman executed by the state of georgia in 70 years. how her lawyers are trying to save the life of this woman scheduled to die few hours from now. ♪ everything kids touch during cold and flu season sticks with them. make sure the germs they bring home don't stick around.

the president of ukraine is about to address the united nations general assembly. aiming to put the conflict in eastern ukraine back on the radar, he is stressing the u.s.

and other allies need to be firm with russia. his speech comes just hours after president obama and russian president vladimir putin sat down for their first formal meeting in two years. talking about all of this, the director of research at the center for european policyanaly. the russian invasion of ukraine the kind of thing the un was set up to prevent and dancer to? >> exactly correct. the un exists to protect countries like ukraine from architects by their neighbors. that is exactly what has occurred in the case of ukraine when russia use force to illegally annex part of ukraine's territory and continues to wage a cold peace if you will against ukraine. >> what if anything has the un done about that invasion? >> of far the united nations has been limited mainly by the fact that russia has a veto in the

security council. one thing the president recently said is as long as you have an aggressor with the veto of those in the security council is a license to kill so russia can deflect any efforts by the international community through the united nations to chastise it or to erect solid, firm responses to its illegal aggression. >> a couple things have been wondering whether the obama administration has misperceived the threat from russia, one of whom having to do with hillary clinton and the reset button that she offered to her russian counterpart during the first obama term and in the second obama term when he was campaigning for his second term against mitt romney, he had this to say in their debate. >> when you were asked what is the biggest geopolitical threats facing america use that russia. not al qaeda, he said russia. in the 1980s, now calling to have their foreign policy back

because the cold war has been over for 20 years. >> as president obama regret saying those words today? >> we don't have our cold war right now but we have a serious security crisis in eastern europe. that crisis did not emerge from a vacuum. a lot of the problems we face today are the result of policies the united states has pursued. in this way the president's overtures to vladimir putin are deja vu. there was reset with russia, that reset fails. six years later it looks like the new reset, reset ii on the offering. that reset, reset ii would be equally risky, good for russia, bad for america and its allies, that it be avoided at this point. >> why did the reset fails? was it misperceived by the u.s.? misperceived by the russians? >> there were a lot of false assumptions guiding the first reset.

the administration had a plan, restart relations, that hillary clinton proposed at the famous meeting with the foreign secretary, that plan was tested and that plan failed, that plan failed and it invited a more aggressive russia and ukraine and a russia that actively seeks u.s. interests in the middle east. for this reason a second attempt at a reset sound like deja vu. is risky and probably won't work just like the first one. >> it would be fascinating to know what mr. obama said vladimir putin as the two presidents met earlier today. thank you. >> thank you. >> a woman sentenced to death for conspiring to kill her husband is scheduled to die tonight. why her lawyers save her life should be scared.
