10:02 am

10:03 am
my children is a gift i am not sure i would have had had i not went through what i went through. focusing on my sons, i found my redemption. joishgs there are field poll numbers out there that have hillary clinton at 47 percent and down from 56 percent, the last poll in may. 63 percent democrats want vice-president biden in the race and only 15 percent said they will support him. this is before he has announced whether he will run for president in 2016. >> it is a fascinating guessing game. >> and we'll bring in jerry from the wall street journal. the numbers, what do they tell us about biden's potential chances? >> tell us more about hillary
10:04 am
clinton and the slump she's going through now than they tell us about joe biden potentially. but secondly, they tell you something that every candidate ought to be aware of. the morning you announce, that's when the other side weighs in against you. and the idea of any candidate that is usually more appealing than the reality of that candidate and it is worth and worth a cautionary note keeping. >> point taken about that, jerry. we have so many names to handle. there is a search for somebody new and fresh and different. how many times we talked about biden. first he would get in by labor day and then october 1st and then the debate. he hasn't made moves and choices and up against a deadline and he will have to do it eventually.
10:05 am
what are the factors? >> two big dates out there october 13th, first democratic debate. too late probably for him to be a part of that debate. he might announce before the debate but let it be known that he is around. and the other thing he could do say november onest. after that it gets difficult. you have to do the mechanical work that is necessary to get you on primary and state ballots. and to me at lost, the window he got her is october 13th or november onest to get in or not. >> you wrote about iowa this week. and we'll show you the democratic and republicans, and the most current polling out of iowa. hillary clinton on top. and donald trump on top. and we'll show you the numbers while we are talking. you have to watch the early
10:06 am
states and we make a big deal about them and you raise questions of how they represent the country at large. what does the viewers need to know. non the republican side, it is not a indicator of things to come. rick sanatorium won the state in 2012 and mike huckabee won in 2008 and forbes and pat buchannan. and iowa turned out to be the high water mark and didn't indicate success to come. it is different in the state that it is less diverse and more senior citizen dominated and conservative than the rest of the country and that is true on the republican side. and while it is important, it is a momentum builder, but not an indicator of success. >> would you say it is like making sports illustrated cover as i baseball team in the early
10:07 am
season. season. >> i don't know if there is an iowa jinx. but i think you have to take iowa with a bigger grain of salt. new hampshire is a better indicator in both parties of the way things will develop down the road. right now on the republican side. ben carson is doing better in iowa than new hampshire. does that tell us about the future of the ben carson campaign? we'll find out. i would take iowa with a grain of salt at this stage and the caucus on february 1st. >> we will keep it in mind. and we'll go back to the polling mike was mentioning. ohio, pennsylvania, and florida. we'll specifically look at the biggest of those, florida, 20 million people live and 29 electorial votes. you have trump, and carson and native of the state. marco rubio and seb bush.
10:08 am
chinton 43 percent lead and more than double than sanders and biden come in. how do you see swing state when you look at florida, pennsylvania and ohio. what does that mean beyond the first few states? >> a couple of things jumped out to me. on the republican side, while donald trump numbers in the republican field are impress 95 all three states, he loses to every demtemincluding bernie sanders in the states when they did election match ups. you have a strong republican candidate in the primary but a weak general election candidate at lost now that is the picture. and the thing we discussed. joe biden comes out as better general election candidate. but again, i would throw in the foot note. that is joe bind as prospective. and joe biden as real candidate
10:09 am
who will take the punches we'll see how that turns out. that is what i look. >> october 13th to november 1st final for biden to make a decision. jerry, thank you. >> happy to be here. >> what questions would you like to ask the questions for the white house. tweet me jenna or "happening now". we will do a new segment and candidate jeb bush will join us and take your questions. that is a hash tag. and questions for jeb bush. we'll look through them tonight and bring the questions to the candidate tomorrow. our live chat is up and running now. go to "happening now" to join the conversation. >> the rain has finally stopped, but the work to recover from the flood nothing south carolina is far from over. workers piled sand bags against
10:10 am
the water and its making its way to the ocean. and emergency workers in the capitol of colombia search for creative solution. >> we'll put a barge against the hole in the dike and secure that. >> it will take us a while to get back to where we are. the collective effort from the state, local and federal officials leading on this issue, i am convinced we'll get there sooner than people expect. >> garrett is live in conway near the south carolina coast. garrett. >> reporter: john, we learned from governor nicki haley there are 15 confirmed fatalities in the storm in south carolina. she said things are improving in the midland part of the state, here on the coast is about to get worse. here in conway, is one of the areas that officials are keeping
10:11 am
a close eye on. this is part of the downtown part of the city that is part of the wak amao river. it is five feet above flood stage and expected to rise overnight a couple more inches. most of the homes are on stilts and raised. and most part, they will be but garages and cars, and anything on the ground. they are pretty much flooded. county officials are asking folks to evacuate before the water get higher. it is difficult for officials to reach them. and the department is evacuating a lot of folks, others who have livered on the river for years and they are going to be riding it through. and the river is expected to rise and it is going to be staying at high levels for at least a couple of weeks, record levels and it will take several
10:12 am
months before they go back down to where they are. farms and low lands will remain under water for a couple of months and prelimary damage estimates are in the millions. officials say that is going to go up, jon. >> thank you, garrett. you can see the blue skies in south carolina. will it actually last? we have more on this, rick. >> saturday morning, there is a system that comes through and brings light scattered showers and nothing that will cause major problems and seven day forecast forecast. and no additional rain causing major problems for them. >> certainly had enough water up to now. 11 trillion gallons from the weather bell. 11 trillion gallons of waters. what does that look like. we see the footage. who knows? 11 trillion.
10:13 am
>> national debt is 18 trillion. you understand that. >> hard to wrap your mind around. >> this is 11 trillion gallons and try to put it in perspective. 636 million swimming pools in the backyard. and rose bowls, 130 rode bowls filled to the top. there you go. and third the size of lake tahoe to put it in perspective and what would be needed to fix california's drought. if you took every person in the country. 318 million. and you would have to carry 34000 of the gallons to that area and dump it on it to get that amount of rain. >> i had no idea you were a mathmetician. i did that on my own.
10:14 am
>> too bad we couldn't ship it to california. that water can it be absorbed or too much. >> eventually it will be. and a then it runs off to the rivers. river flooding is a slow process. and the was has to go somewhere and it moves slowly down and it will take months for it to go away. >> thank you, rick. >> european union cracks down on migrants. the latest steps eu nations are trying to take to turn them away. plus, brand new to theage of daring jewel row store robber. a band of thieves makes a smash and grab raid in broad daylight. we'll show you how they broke in this the first place. my constipation and belly pain

10:19 am
authorities, suspected of being part of those smuggling rings that you are talking about. i have to say, jon, it is moving to witness a landing like this with your own eyes. incredible fragility of the people who made horrific voyages and the tenderness of the doctors looking after them. one woman was so burned and barely moved and put up on a stretcher and she was frightened and she had one injured hand and one of the medics was holing it and stroking it to give her comfort. >> we hear about the horrors and we are hearing about what happens on land on crossing. and the atrocity suffer as they make their way across the sah a saharaa. and women raped and others
10:20 am
beaten. >> when it is related to the violence in libya. or to the accidents in the desert. >> reporter: here you can see the doctors trying to distract babysit on board and blowing up gloves. most migrants are africans fleeing the military. and al-shabaab terrorist in somalia. and a lot of women are taken as sex slaves and not told that is their destiny until they arrive in europe. they are told they are going to college or beauty school. the plans to deport tens of thousands of the migrants, we haven't told them the alleged plan so far. we asked immigration lawyers here in siciowa ly and they say it is incredibly difficult to get the process of deportation
10:21 am
going. you need to identify where they came from and most without documents and get the home countries to get them to agree to take them back. many of those who are economic migrants will remain here and get on with their lives and learning the language and finding jobs somehow. it is a crisis, jon. >> so much human misery emerging from the wars. the war on terror may escalate with chemical or nuclear weapons. isis may be running its own chemical weapons program and this. and undercover reveals smugglers trying to sell nuclear activities to isis they thought. how does it handle on the middle

here is a scary thought. extremist of the isis may be running their own chemical weapons program. weapons have begun to be in syria isis has used two types of chemical weapons in iraq and syria on several occasions. those upon withes include improvised bombs using chlorine and artillery containing hazardous chemicals. >> from chemical weapons to now nuclear weapons, a report published that gangs with russian ties are trying to sell radioactive material to isis. this is an associate the press investigation on a series of operations conducted by the fbi
10:26 am
informants and police posed as gangster. one smuggler was busted to sell radioactive cecuim. the kingpins escaped and they returned to nuclear smuggling. and it is a series of different profiles and fascinating and scary. it is the author of a nuclear nightmare securing the world before it is too late. when we see a investigation like this it plays to our worst fears. how big is the black market for nuclear material? >> the agency has been tracking the incidents involving the loss or theft of nuclear materials over 20 years and recorded over 650 of these. 30 a year. two a month. and so this is the ones that we
10:27 am
know about and the ones we have been able to detect. there is a constant activity in this area and a very large supply of the materials. >> i am curious about that. this focused on eastern europe and former soviet union. why from there? >> globally. you have hundreds of sites in the world where there are large splois of radioactive material and the kinds of things that you use for a dirty bomb. cecium is used for radio logical will investigations and the manufacturers of those machines will have pounds of this material stored in their facilities. but sites in eastern europe. there is dysfunctional government and growing anti- americanism. and the incident in this report showed that the suppliers specifically wanted to get it to isis specifically wanting to
10:28 am
target americans. >> what gets you in the gut in the end of the report. investigators in the local area that works with the fbi and breaking up the groups. they are disbanded because of local poll teches and they are not actively going after the people. benefit i get to the scenarios that the associated press details. if you are able to get your hand on nuclear material. do you need a nuclear scientist to make a nuclear bomb? or can an average terrorist take the material and do something disastrous with it? >> two incidents we are worried b. uranium and plutonnium. and that would form the core of a nuclear explosive device. you can't make it on your own. you have to have to have a engineer to build a device. but isis is starting to
10:29 am
accumulate the capabilities where it might able be to have the expertise. >> we have this video. and i want to show you. this smuggler said you can make a dirty bomb perfect for the is slammic state and business will go smoothly. and this is the video of him being arrested. and so what is the true threat of the differenty bomb that we hear about often. >> most experts are surprised it hasn't happen already. it is easy to make. ten pounds of dine mate laced with radioactive material with what this smug lerg talked about. in downtown manhattan you can spread it around tens of square blocks. no one would die immediately but
10:30 am
contaminate all of wall street. and it would force the evacuation of those sites for those areas for months or years while you scrub it clean. that is the ultimate terrorist threat. of the unseen undetectible material that can kill you. >> and we have a former kgb informant. he had uranium to sell and looking for a middle east buyer. they asked for a statement from the white house and state department and no one is willing to comment. how much, you started the conversation saying many are surprised it hasn't happen yet. what do we have to do to make sure it doesn't happen? >> we have had programs in place to reduce the stock piles of these materials and secure the ones that remain, the bad news is, they are not moving fast enough and the russia and u.s.
10:31 am
relationship suffered and they have stopped cooperating with us on programs where we were tracking down the criminals and securing the stock piles and the problem is worst in the last couple of years as the relationship deteriorated. can you step up at least in the programs where you are able to do that. and stop using the radioactivity material and make everyone who manufacturers the material apply the strictest security measures and stop the terrorist from getting it. >> you would hope we are doing that already. fascinating and terrifying. thank you so much. >> thank you, jenna. >> another technology gets dragged in the scandal of hillary clinton's private e-mail. how many people had access to the classified e-mails and a show down for the speakership?

clinton's information. ed henry is following the developments. >> reporter: you are right, jon. the state department said 400 e-mails had classified information in hillary clinton's personal server. you are right. flat river, a company in colorado are cooperating with the fbi investigation. and fox news now confirmed a second companyidato based in connecticut was backing up the data from that server and republican senator ron johnson who chairs the senate homeland security committee, he's learned more details about da to's involvement and concerned that the classified information was bouncing around to various companies could have gotten in the hands of other people. >> they contract to store the back up information on a device with the server.
10:37 am
and really were surprised when it was transmitted to the cloud. and my guess, damage control. >> this shows how sloppy and again, reckless disregard for national security interest that secretary of state and the derelection of duty here. >> the clinton camp is pushing back and pushing on kevin mccarthy's comments and suggesting that the house benghazi investigation was political and goal was to attack hillary clinton while you have ron johnson in the senate and conduct being the separate investigation about the security of the server. and fallon put out this statement. ron johnson is ripping a page from the page book. and mounting a sham of the investigation with the sole purpose of attacking hillary clinton politically. it is led by noncareer political
10:38 am
professional. and ron johnson has noness interfering with it for his own partis an ends. the clinton company is mentioning the nonpartisan fbi investigation just that it is moving forward. and two technology companies is working with the fbi criminal. and all of the charges of back and forth of what the house and senate investigations are doing. if they uncover anything criminal or otherwise will be hard for the clenton campaign to say it is partisan. they are holding it nonpartisan. >> republican law makerser meeting over the next house speak emp. and chaffetz want the job. >> jenna, we learned that the house freedom caucus and conservative wing of the house
10:39 am

10:40 am
but at this point, there is 40 people that are uncommitted who they are going to support. >> tomorrow's vote, is a steppingstone to the full house vote for the election of speaker that occurs on october 29th. and if that gop is notably to consolidate the support and reach the magic 218 vote threshold, the republicans will have a big problem on their hands indeed. >> we have to unite. last thing you want to cede more room to nancy pelosi. we will unite. >> and despite the recent gaffe house majority leader kevin mccarthy remains the front runner. and tried to allay conservative fears that he is closely aligned to john boehner. >> i think mccarthy's pitch is i
10:41 am
am not john boehner. i run differently. and i am my own man. one of the things i hear all of the time, from my constituents back in texas we don't want john boehner. >> walter jones conservative of north carolina and house gop conference chairman wants a thorough vetting of three candidates. the last thing they want is a repeat of the 1990's selection of bob livingstop who later admitted he was involved in an extra marittan affair. they don't want skeletons to emerge. >> scandal erupts in the world of daily fantasy supports. could it lead to changes of how they are are regulated and will there be legal fallout amid

10:47 am
10:48 am
there may be actions brought on that. >> not only the new york attorney general on this. and this is part of the statement from new jersey congressman frank palone. and the allegation of insider trading of employees of daily sports operator is a prime example of why we need a congressional hearing to review the legal status. and they are functioning in the wild west vote within the legal structure. what about that try. some say it is equivalent to gambling on line. and why not more regulation. >> and the last thing we need is for congress to open up a federal investigation into this. >> and congress can't pass the budget and let alone look into whether young people are fooling around with fantasy football. and the important thing we make sure it is fair and that
10:49 am
everyone is on a equal playing field and looks like the companies are taking steps to regulate it by essentially making rules that disallow any employee of the site from betting on their competitor sites. >> and then you are relying on the honor system, rebecca. and you are saying don't place your bets or draft your team on the other guy's site. >> these sites have to convince the users they are fair and they will try to get over this and people think there is a fairplaying field and they are regouting things here. congressional regulations is not the answer in this case. >> i am not sure if i agree with the market forces. and the explosion in the advertising and fan dual and draft kings. on sunday afternoon football be
10:50 am
that's all you can see. and all of the people who are engaged in drafting the fantasy teams, they don't spend a lot of attention watching the news or reading the papers and they may the not know the controversy is under way right now. i agree with rebecca and congress getting involved is notes in. you can't watch a game on sunday without the ads. wod gets out that people are cheating the market reacts and that really second guessing whether or not they're going to put their money into one of these companies. >> we'll see if the ads change at all. maybe some apologies are in order. thank you, both. a recent hack exposed
