8:00 am
how we can roll it back. it is a daunting task. equally i want to make it clear that we have not given up our hope for pea we'll never give up our hope for peace. and i remain committed to a vision of peace of two states for two peoples, a demilitarized palestinian state that recognizes the jewish state. i don't think that anyone should doubt israel's determination to defend itself against terror and destruction, but neither should anyone doubt israel's willingness to make peace with any of its neighbors that genuinely want to achieve peace with it. and i look forward to discussing with you practical ways in which we can lower the tension, increase stability and move towards peace. and finally, mr. president, i want to thank you for your commitment to further bolstering israel's security and the
8:01 am
memorandum of understanding that we're discussing. us reel has shouldered -- israel has shouldered a tremendous defense burden over the years, and we've done it with the generous assistance of the united states of america. and i want to express my appreciation to you. it's really the appreciation of the people of israel to you for your efforts in this regard during our years of common service and what you're engaging in right now. how to bolster israel's security, how to maintain israel's qualitative military edge so that israel can, as you've often said, defend itself, by itself against any threat. so for all these reasons, i want to thank you again for your hospitality, but even more so for sustaining and strengthening the tremendous friendship and alliance between israel and the united states of america. thank you very much, mr. president. >> thank you. bill: different scene, different environment today from the one that was pretty chilly last time
8:02 am
around. these two men have plenty to talk about today. martha: they sure do. have a great day. "happening now" picks it up right here, and we'll see you back here tomorrow, right? ♪ ♪ jenna: we'll have more from the white house in just a moment n. the meantime, it's a big week in the gop presidential race, a showdown on the shores of lake michigan just over 12 hours away when 12 candidates will meet in milwaukee. i'm jenna lee. jon: and i'm jon scott. donald trump is taking some new shots at dr. ben carson. trump repeatedly questioning the accuracy of carson's life story as dr. carson fires back at the media, calling their digging into his past irrelevant. let's talk about it with bret baier, the anchor of "special report." he joins us live from washington. i was read anything "the new york times" this morning, kind of interesting, donald trump raising questionst( about claims that ben carson has madeç in hs book because trump has
8:03 am
acknowledged misstatements in the past of his own, sometimes under oath. >> sure. you're talking about different real estate -- jon: real estate. >> -- whether he exaggerated his real estate holdings, and in a deposition said it was within reason. i think you're seeing donald trump really go after ben carson on these stories from, you know, his growing up and also this west point story about getting a scholarship. as carson has said, he has clarified that and said it was not artful, the way he said it or wrote about it, but trump is really hammering in on this to say that this has to go to integrity and who carson is. i will say, jon, as you pointed out, that carson has effectively turned the tables a bit on the media, and if there aren't more shoes to drop, he has -- at least over the weekend -- kind of portrayed in this media derangement syndrome about carson that in republican politics plays pretty well. so we'll have to see how the
8:04 am
trump attacks fall out. jon: there is nobody in the race who has a story like ben carson. i mean, growing up as an inner city kid in detroit and then, you know, basically by the bootstraps and by his mother's diligence just propelling himself to the heights of his field as a pediatric neurosurgeon. are voters going to be willing to forgive him? i mean, this story about west point, when i read what he said and what he now says he meant, it all seemed pretty plausible to me. >> yeah. it's a semantics thing, but it is different, i mean, to say that you've got a full scholarship as opposed to you talked to some people, and they said that you could -- it would be easy for you to get an appointment. jon: yeah. >> you know, they're two different things, and he admitted that he should have clarified and over time that story had been a part of his speeches and a part of his book. you're right, it's just semantics, but it is important when running for president that
8:05 am
you're going to be under the media spotlight. what he has done, though, is to say gop candidates get a lot of this spotlight, and democratic candidates not so much. and that's an appealing message for republican voters. jon: it is interesting, it's an interesting comparison when applied to, say, the scrutiny over hillary clinton and the e-mails or any number of issues l the media are being fair. we'll take that up later. want to talk to you about something else, ted cruz and marco rubio. they have a couple of things in common; both first-term senators, both surging in the polls. but they seem to be appealing to maybe two different sides of the republican party. how do you see it, bret? >> well, i think that's right. i think that they are in their respective lanes starting to gain a lot of traction. marco rubio in the kind of more establishment lane even though, remember, he doesn't like being called that. he was elected to the senate in part because of a lot of tea
8:06 am
party support down in florida. but he is in the lane in the presidential contest with jeb bush, chris christie, john kasich, maybe even carly fiorina. and ted cruz in the more conservative, grassroots, more tea party currently voters, and he's fighting donald trump, ben carson, mike huckabee, rand paul for that lane. so both of these senators, you know, conventional wisdom is starting to gain that they will pick up steam as you get closer to the voting, but we'll see how it falls out as these debates continue, and both of them are very good on a debate stage. jon: yeah. i also didn't mention they are both, you know, cuban-american senators which is fascinating to see two republican, i mean, not front runners, but two very highly-polling republicans being, you know, having hispanic appeal. that's something that a great many in the party have to be excited about. >> very much so.
8:07 am
and i think either one of them, you know, stirs up their own base of support. i think marco rubio has, obviously, carved out a niche on foreign policy and on talking about the various issues that the obama administration has left or created openingsw3 for republicannings. ted cruz fire -- republicans. ted cruz fires up the base like few do and is standing up to what many many in the party seen establishment that is not getting things done. jon: ted cruz has not made many friends among establishment republicans. he once referred to mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, as a liar, john boehner, the now-departed speaker of the house once referred toç him asa jackass. he and john mccain have had a lot of back and fort verbal grenades. if ted cruz were to win the nomination, what kind of support could he expect from
8:08 am
establishment republicans? >> well, that's a great story and one that would have to play out. clearly, he's running against washington, even against people in his own party. i mean, he calls them the washington cartel. and that is not a nice term when you talk about your fellow colleagues in the senate. but that feeling, that angst, that anger with how washington is operating crosses party lines, and ted cruds -- ted cruz taps into that. if he gets the nomination, that will be an interesting test for the republican party to rally around a candidate that many on capitol hill say doesn't play well with others. jon: those two guys, as i mentioned earlier, aren't necessarily the front runners, but they are certainly in the top five in the polls. there are a few other well established candidates who are struggling, and they are essentially betting the farm on a strong showing in new hampshire to the try to turn their campaigns around. talking about jeb bush, chris
8:09 am
christie, john kasich. they are all spending a lot of time there, but they are still behind trump and carson. can this personal retail politicking in new hampshire, can it turn those campaigns around? >> short answer is, yes. i mean, we've seen many surprises in new hampshire. new hampshire doesn't like to be told how to vote. they don't like to be told what the national polls say. they like to see people in their living room, and, you know, you go up there, it is retail politics 101. some of these candidates, especially in the lower tier, might as well be running for governor of new hampshire, because they're going to be staying there in that state as much as they can to make as much difference as they can for new hampshire. i think iowa is different this time around. we'll see if it plays as big a factor as it has in recent elections, but new hampshire, it appears s the holy grail for some of these candidates.
8:10 am
jon: the televised debates, obviously, play a large role in exposing these candidates to the wider world. new hampshire is, apparently new hampshire voters are feeling that too much emphasis is being placed on the polls and maybe on those debates, that it really comes down to that state winnowing the field. >> yeah. i think they're -- listen, i think they're right that there's a lot of focus on polls, and there's a lot of emphasis on these debates. i will say the debates, though, they do tell you how people handle adversity. i think fbn is setting up for a very substantive, policy-driven debate tomorrow night with longer answers. neil and maria, jerry baker with "the wall street journal," are really going to get into some of the weeds, i think, of how to turn the country around economically. and there's a hunger for that just on a differentiating candidates on policy. jon: bret baier from "special
8:11 am
report," we'll let you get to it, and we'll see you tonight. thanks. a reminder to tune in for that next republican debate tomorrow night in wisconsin. the fox business network partnering with "the wall street journal," the first debate starts at 7 p.m. eastern, the main event at 9 with expert analysis all on the fox business network. to find it in your area, head to www.foxbusiness.com/channelfinde r. jenna: turning now to breaking news, the president now promising a full investigation after a man wearing a jordanian military uniform opens fire on foreign contractors at a training center in the capital of that country, it's our understanding now americans among the dead. conor powell is live from our mideast bureau with the details. >> reporter: the attack took place at the king abdullah training center outside of oman, it's used by the u.s. and coalition partners, it's the type of place the navy seals would train at, and this is a key spot. u.s. officials based in d.c.
8:12 am
telling fox news that two american state department contractors were killed along with a south african when a jordanian police officer -- and the jordanians are confirming it was one of their police officers who launched this attack -- opened fire on the trainers there. six other people were injured including several americans. today's attack comes on the ten-year anniversary of a series of bombings carried out by al-qaeda in aman ten years ago. though jordanian officials are saying this attack today is not connected to those bombings ten years ago. insider attacks like this are fairly common in afghanistan where the u.s. has been training afghan forces for more than a decade now. there have been more than 90 of those types of insider, they call green on blue attacks killing more than 140 or so u.s. and coalition partners. this is the first attack that we know of that's taken place in jordan between jordanian police or military and u.s. trainers, but it certainly does raise
8:13 am
alarms, jenna, about what the type of danger u.s. personnel may be in in jordan or in other places where they are training syrian rebels or iraqi troops. it's very tough to be able to vet everybody around you, and that is certainly one of the dangers u.s. and coalition troops face when operating in the middle east, jenna. jenna: certainly more information to come on this particular incident. thank you. jon: there's new information on what might have brought down that russian passenger jet in egypt. investigators now say they are 90% sure that a noise heard at the end of the cockpit recording was a bomb. the metrojet plane was enroute to st. petersburg from a red sea resort town when it crashed killing all 224 people onboard. just 23 minutes after takeoff, the plane appeared to break up in midair. a u.n. inspection team is now at cairo international airport to check security and baggage handling procedures. jenna: in the meantime, back here at home investigators have
8:14 am
already seen the body camera footage of a 6-year-old boy's shooting. two police officers are charged with murder in the death of this little boy while they were pursuing his father's car. still a lot to be learned on that case. plus, the supreme court upholding obamacare twice. why the affordable care act is facing a new legal challenge. and we want to hear from you, do you think the mainstream media's treatment of the gop candidates so far has been fair? ben carson, for example? our live chat is up and running, just go to foxnews.com/happeningnow to join the conversation.
8:15 am
8:16 am
8:17 am
jon: right now some crime stories we're following on "happening now." a convicted murderer whose case was ma# famous by a podcast gets a chance to clear his name. he's serving a life sentence for the 1999 murder of his high school girlfriend.
8:18 am
and the trial set to begin for a california man accused of killing his stepmother with a pick axe. he faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life in prison if he's convicted of murder. he is pleading not guilty. plus, a court hearing set today after the shooting death of a 6-year-old boy. two louisiana police police offr polices are charged with second-degree murder in the death of jeremy mardis and attempted murder for shooting his father while chasing the father's car. state police describe the body cam footage as disturbing. jenna: the supreme court not done with obamacare, the court announcing it will hear a new challenge to the law from religious nonprofit groups opposing the contraception mandate. shannon bream is live in washington with more. >> reporter: well, jenna, the administration put together what they call an accommodation, essentially for religious nonprofit groups who don't want to comply with the contraceptive
8:19 am
mandate under obamacare. they sign a form p it authorizes a third party to directly provide all of the required contraceptives to the employees in question. these religious groups say it doesn't really satisfy their conscience concerns, and critics of this move say this isn't the case. the pr battle that the obama administration probably wanted to be wading into. >> this is not really the case that the government wanted to take. the government was hoping they would be looking at anyone but a group of nuns who have devoted their live it is to caring for the elderly and homeless poor. because i think this high lights how extreme the government's position has become. >> reporter: at the center of the case, is the religious order the little sisters of the poor. they and several other religious organizations, including the group priests for life and some christian universities, say by signing this form they're still in some way giving endorsement to something that violates their religious convictions. but the administration and its supporters say this solution is the best resolution for all sides. >> the accommodation allows the
8:20 am
objecting employers to opt out entirely of arranging for, paying for, providing for contraception while allowing the women employees and their families to get the benefit of the aca's mandate that this contraception coverage and preventive health care be provided free of cost. >> reporter: the case will be heard here at oral arguments in march of next year. that means we get a decision at the end of term, that's late june 2016, of course, putting us right in the middle of the presidential race next year with issues of religious liberty, abortion and obamacare. it's going to be a hot one. jenna? jenna: shannon, thank you. jon: well, a fox news alert now, the president of the university of missouri system has announced his resignation after all kinds of criticism has been leveled at him regarding his handling of racial issues on the campus. a number of football players had suggested they were not going to participate in anymore football
8:21 am
team activities because of the racial atmosphere on the school campus. let's listen in now to president tim wolf. -- tim wolfe. >> hope and try to present strength as well as we think about what's next. i have to also give credit to my daughter for reminding me of the scripture. psalm 46:1. god is our refuge and strength and ever present in trouble. we need, please, please, use this resignation to heal, not to hate, and let's move forward together for a brighter tomorrow. god bless all of you, and i
8:22 am
thank you for this wonderful opportunity to have led the university of missouri system. thank you. jon: so it came very quickly after a number of protests on university of missouri campus, columbia, missouri, of course. keeping in mind the events that took place in ferguson, missouri, as well. a number of athletes had said that the campus was not sufficiently racially mixed, that there had been racially-charged incidents directed at various members of minority groups on campus including the student body president who is black. and in short order, tim wolfe, the president of the united states of missouri -- the university of missouri system, steps down. we will have more throughout the day here on fox. meantime, midtown manhattan the scene of a deadly shooting. three people shot, one of them fatally just a block from penn station. those shootings around 6:00 this
8:23 am
morning at the entrance of a subway station at 35th street and eighth avenue. one man pronounced dead at the scene, the two injured victims taken to a hospital. the gunman, we are told, is still at large. jenna: many developing stories. in the meantime, new information now on the final hours of john lennon's life 35 years after his murder. the night lennon was shot by a crazed man outside to his manhattan apartment was, he was rushed to a nearby hospital. there are conflicting stories, though, about what was done to save his life and who treated the legendary musician. and joining us now is howard kurtz, fox news media analyst and anchor of "media buzz." you can look into a lot of different stories, why did you decide to look at this one specifically? >> well, i soon realized, jenna, we don't really know exactly what happened at new york's roosevelt hospital on that night almost 35 years ago, and it turns out that a guy named dr. steven hall ran -- excuse
8:24 am
me, dr. david hall a ran, who was a 29-year-old resident at the hospital at time, is the one who actually opened john lennon's chest, massaged his heart and tried to save the former beatle. unfortunately, he was too badly injured. he is speaking out for the first time. for years now the former hospital emergency room administrator, dr. steven lynn, had said he is the one who performed the emergency resuscitation on lennon. but i have three nurses, three eyewitnesses who were in that trauma room who all say dr. halloran did this. he finally got annoyed enough about the publicity to speak out. i put these questions to him. we can take a look at that. four people who were there, david halloran, barbara, aisha, dee, have told us that it was dr. halroran who performed this emergency resuscitation and you
8:25 am
arrived toward the end. >> it may have been the doctor who held the knife, i can't remember exactly. i was there before any of the other doctors were there. i was the director of thement. >> why do you think four people would have a different recollection of that emotional night than you do? >> because it's been 35 years since then. i don't remember exactly who held the knife. i certainly thought that it was my hand on the knife. it may very well have been dr. halloran's, and perhaps-david who opened the chest, but i'm not certain. >> could it also have been him that massaged john lennon's heart and not you? >> no. i know i did. >> how are you so sure? >> because i remember it. >> and, jenna, just moments earlier dr. lynn had been absolutely certain in telling me he had done all these things, and then you saw him kind of revising his account. in that same interview yoko ono came up because dr. lynn had to walk down the hall and give her the awful news that her husband had died. he has said in many interviews
8:26 am
something i'm about to play for you, and that too comes into dispute. let's watch. >> she was on the floor pounding her head against a concrete floor at that moment. i put my hands behind her head, didn't want her to harm herself. >> now, i talked to a nurse on camera who said she was in that room, that that did not happen, and i've got a statement from yoko ono saying i did not bang my head on anything, let alone a concrete floor. all the time i had in mind i had to stay calm and well for sean's sake, her young son sean. so dr. halloran wound up this reporting by telling me this has changed his view of the media, 35 years where the full story had not been told. and this question kind of hung in the air, who watches the watchers? be who fact checks the fact checkers? jenna: it's a good question. as you were talking to the doctor for so many years took credit, what's your take on his
8:27 am
impression of the incident? do you think this is a malicious misremembering? do you think it was chaotic and, quite frankly, there was so much going on that it was difficult to know what was happening in the state of emergency? >> i wanted to give dr. lynn the benefit of the doubt. in fact, i asked him whether he, because it was such an emotional night and it is a long time ago, whether he had conflated the memories of what he had done and the other doctor. he said he didn't think so. but by all these different accounts -- and, remember, we have three different nurses telling the same story about dr. halloran's role, they say dr. lynn arrived when john lend nonwas about to be declared dead. so it is hard for me to see how he has told this story all these years, but i don't want to question his motives. we have finally now, more than three decades later, established definitively in this report what happened on that tragic night in 1980. jenna: fascinating. howard, thank you so much. >> thanks, jenna.
8:28 am
jon: another story about a doctor and his distant past under fire, dr. ben carson, the republican presidential candidate, taking on the media for what he calls a witch hunt into his past. are the media being fair here? alan colmes and tammy bruce are next. plus, a new threat to cybersecurity, and attackers don't need your password or sensitive information, all they need is access to the right piece of cable. we'll explain.
8:29 am
now? can i at least put my shoes on? if your bladder is calling the shots... ...you may have a medical condition called overactive bladder or oab. you've got to be kidding me. i've had enough! it's time to talk to the doctor. ask your doctor about myrbetriq to treat the oab symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage. myrbetriq is the first and only medicine in its class. myrbetriq (mirabegron) may increase blood pressure. tell your doctor right away if you have trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream.
8:30 am
myrbetriq may cause serious allergic reactions. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue... ...or difficulty breathing, stop taking myrbetriq and tell your doctor right away. myrbetriq may affect or be affected by other medications. before taking myrbetriq, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. common side effects include increased blood pressure, common cold symptoms, urinary tract infection, and headache. take charge by talking to your doctor about your oab symptoms and myrbetriq. and learn about savings at myrbetriq.com
8:31 am
8:32 am
jenna: right now a quick looking at what's still to come this hur of "happening now." the president of the university of missouri, we just found out, resigning today after some football players said they wouldn't participate in teamç activities until he stepped down. for months black student groups have complained about racial problems on the campus. we'll tell you what's next. plus, they said it sounded like a serie[ç of explosions. only 50 feet from a busy restaurant. and 007 drawing big numbers at the box office, but is the future of the james bond franchise in jeopardy? what movie experts are saying. ♪ ♪ jon: republican presidential candidate dr. ben carson has some words for the media, calling their digging into stories about his past a witch hunt and a perfect example of media bias. so are the media being fair to dr. carson? what about the rest of the republican field? let's talk about it with tammy
8:33 am
bruce and alan colmes, host of the alan colmes show, nationally syndicated by fox news radio. this all starts last week with an article in politico talking about a claim in his book which i guess he wrote 25 years ago, a claim in his book when he says i was offered a full scholarship to west point. politico says, you know, they checked with west point, they didn't -- he didn't apply, you know, all of that, and all of this bruhaha has built up as a result of it. >> left-wing rag, politico. it wasn't just politico, it's a story he's been telling about his life since that book came out. and today, by the way, he's not blaming his co-author for stuff. this is a guy who is running on his narrative, running on his life narrative -- jon: it's a great narrative. >> well, some of it. he's not running, though, on policy or having run a state or having any political office. he's running on his life story so, of course, the media's going
8:34 am
to look at that because all the media has to go on is what he's been saying. the stabbing story, the hammer to his mother, the things he has said. so it's not just one thing. you've got now a series of situations where he seems not to have told it and, you know, he tries to weasel out of it by saying my co-author, or it's the fog of time. but these are stories he's told over and over again. it's very fair to look at those stories. jon: what do you think? >> yeah, i agree. i think the media is doing what the media should do. the complaint conservatives have is they only do it to half of the candidates. >> right. oh. >> and it's a legitimate complaint. [laughter] some of the conservatives want -- and dr. carson's asking, saying this is a witch hunt, this is something that shouldn't be happening. the answer is to do it to everyone. it's not to stop vetting the candidates. dr. carson's in a unique position in that he is really the only one who's never run for office, and so this is the first time this is happening to him. and maybe it is a surprise. today, and only the voters can decide this, he said, indeed,
8:35 am
that ghost writers put meat on the story. if that's acceptable to his supporters, then we'll find out. this is the kind of thing that we need to find out about all the the candidates. it should have happened to barack obama, it didn't. but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be doing our job, that reporters shouldn't be doing it. but the difference is when they do vet democrats, alan, it's to clear them. >> oh, come on. >> with republicans it's to nail them. >> wait a minute, they went after barack obama for jeremiah wright, for the church he went to -- >> and usually the unbiased media, and when the other media did do it, it was to try to clear him -- >> no, it was the voters saw this for what it was, a witch hunt against barack obama. obviously, the voters knew about it but didn't care enough to not vote -- >> isç that what it is? is that what journalists going and looking at the background of individuals running for president s that a witch hunt, or is that the media doing their job? i mean, that becomes the question.
8:36 am
jon: let's take a listen to what dr. carson had to say yesterday on "meet the press" about this whole bruhaha. >> i have always said that i expect to be vetted. but being evented and what is going on with -- vetted and what is going on with me, you said this 30 years ago, this 20 years ago, this didn't exist, you know, i have not seen that with anyone else. if you could show me where that's happened with someonet( else, i will take that statement back. jon: and -- >> i mean, sarah palin went through this. they did this to her. john mccain was shocked. he thought the media was his best friend when he became the nominee, they turned on him, and he was really quite taken aback with suddenly they were doing the same thing to him.ç republicans know to expect this. to suggest that it shouldn't happen, it makes them better candidates, by the way, and it makes them better governors, people who govern with whatever office they're in, and this is
8:37 am
something that we should have, though, with everyone across the board. >> in a bizarre news conference on friday, ben carson repeated every debunked conspiracy theory about barack obama. all this stuff that he said, and it's already been vetted. >> see, that's my point. but, alan, you also said debunked. >> it's been debunked. that's what the media does. for liberals they go through to clear it or to debunk it. and, again, i think this is valid, and you're right, alan, that the narrative for dr. carson is about his life experience, that deserves to be looked at. but it's not to debunk it really -- >> wait a minute. if it can be debunked, it will be. but if it turns out he was not telling the the truth, the truth will be out whether it's the left or the right. jon: the thing i find fascinating is that much of what dr. carson wrote about in his book is his horrible behavior as a child. he said he attacked his mother with a hammer, he tried to stab a relative --
8:38 am
>> well, it was a relative, it was a friend, it was the belt buckle, i mean, the story kept changing a lot, but it's not just one story. jon: illustrating that he was a horrible kid and turned his life around. >> can you imagine if a liberal candidate had to defend himself against trying to stab himself? i don't think he'd be president of the united states. >> it's a story, ostensibly, of redemption. jon: exactly. >> and that's why those elements matter. i do find it interesting that he's having to defend the truth of him trying to hit his mother with a hammer. i think it's an interesting position to be in. but this is why details do matter, and i don't -- i do worry if ghost writers are putting meat on the stories. that's something that needs to be discussed -- >> well, he should have vetted his own ghost writer, if that's the case. >> well, we'll see. now with this debate coming up, now it still has got to get down to details about policy as well. a great personal story is one thing. i think we all have great personal stories. >> speak for yourself.
8:39 am
>> you shouldn't be president, maybe i should be. [laughter] this is where the details especially on economics, business and jobs will start to matter, and tomorrow's an important day. jon: if you were to write your life story -- >> i would lie. [laughter] jon: would you remember those incidents from your, you know, teens and preteen years? >> it's not just that, it's telling the same story over and other again even as those books came out and then blaming the ghost writer which he, apparently, never vetted -- jon: well, the west point story he says it wasn't offered a scholarship, and you don't get scholarships to west point, you get appointed. but he says somebody said to him -- >> he said he got a scholarship, and west point said we have no recordover it. he -- record of it. he said he had that dinner with general westmoreland on, apparently that did not take place. >> these are details, events happened -- >> little details like whether it happened. >> i do think, yes, if you have dinner with westmoreland, you
8:40 am

jenna: a quick fox news alert, want to show you what's happening in the markets this monday as you take a look at the dow, trading off by more than 1%, down more than 200 points at this moment. this is the biggest drop we've seen since september, and it's something we're watching closely. as you know, the fed's decided to keep rates stable which is, basically, in and around 0%, and there's a lot of angst about what that means for the end of the year and perhaps seeing a rate hike later on. at this point a lot of traders, a lot of investors try to adjust portfolios for the end of year as it's coming up shortly. hard to believe, i know. but this could be part of that preparation. we're seeing some rejiggering, if you will -- using a technical term -- of stocks. but the dow trading lower by 217. jon: and this fox news alert, if you're watching us in alaska, yes, that was an earthquake you felt.
8:45 am
magnitude 6.2 earthquake hit out in the aleutians. it was felt as far away as anchorage, but this one was fairly shallow. the early indications are that it was about seven kilometers underneath the surface, that tends to make them more easily felt along the surface and over a wider area. no reports of any be damage at this -- any damage at this point. this is just coming in to us, but there could be some out there that we will get to a bit later. anyway, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in the aleutian island chain off alaska. jenna: now to a really important story, the internet connects billions of people across the globe. what's typically thought of as wireless communication is actually controlled by power lines and underground cables which can also get hacked in a myriad of different ways. the new york times reporting that's exactly what's been happening in the san francisco bay area, for example.
8:46 am
sixteen attacks on cables in the past year alone. more on this with a senior fellow at the center for digital government. morgan, we talk about infrastructure, this is something we don't think about. even though we're communicating using our phones and sending messages into space, we're actually walking on top of a lot of wires that are really important. so what's happening in the san francisco bay area is called fiber cuts. what exactly is that? >> look, jenna, back about ten years ago your voice, your video, your data went over separate networks like copper wire for phones. what happened now is all these phones converged into a single cable now, it's called fiber. it's like fiber to the home. so when they cut it, it's exactly what they do. they cut through it, and it disrupts all of the communications. that's why your voice went down, your data went down out in the san francisco area. it basically is like taking a hatchet and cutting the electrical line to your house, shutting off the power. jenna: this is the way "the new york times" describes it, individuals in these areas couldn't make land or mobileçç
8:47 am
calls, they couldn't call 931, they couldn't send -- 931, they couldn't send e-mails, credit card and atms didn't work. that area and, morgan, they don't know who's doing it. how do we figure that out? >> about a year ago, year and a half ago, remember there was the stories out in california again of 17 transformers within 19 minutes taken out by high-powered rifles. somebody was shooting these things. incidents are connected together but, jenna, it shows us the vulnerability of our critical infrastructure system. when you're on your iphone or android, it's only wireless til it gets to the radio tower. the majority of time that's going over some fiber line between east coast and west coast. it's not wireless the whole way. if you take out one thing, we disrupt a lot of things including our emergency communication. jenna: how secure a are these lines? who's watching them? >> no. this is spaghetti that's hidden
8:48 am
in tunnels all over the united states. i mean, i'm at the d.c. bureau today. every day somebody's tearing up streets in d.c. laying down more fiber or activating what they call dark fiber, fiber some people don't even know exist. they don't realize fiber's already been laid before. i don't think anybody, except there was a project done and maybe dhs knows now of where all these things run. that includes the undersea cables coming into the united states. i don't think anybody really knows. jenna: it's interesting, "the new york times" points out in some ways some of these lines are held in private property because there's a fear of government surveillance, and so the thinking was originally we're going to keep it on private property even though the public really depends on this. what are ixps, internet exchange points, morgan? >> they are the place where all of in this traffic comes together. give you an example. back in 2000, i had the chance to visit network solutions. the dot.com, what's called the top-level domain server, all of the places where all of the
8:49 am
dot.com traffic comes through came through this set of machines. so think of it as a chokepoint that all the traffic in new york has to cross one bridge, all the traffic in d.c. has to cross one bridge. so it is a place where all of it comes in, and then it gets distributed from there. if you take that out, choke that off, you choke off all your communications. jenna: and so for our viewers all over the country, there's about 80 of these ixps in the united states, and the thinking is if you take one of them out, you can cause damage to huge swaths of the country, let alone a coordinated attack. mo began, what can we -- morgan, what can we do to make sure we're more secure there in san francisco or otherwise? >> i've got to give credit to fox because you guys are one of the few stations and few organizations that cover cybersecurity. we stood up what's called cyberdecision2016.com. we've created a presidential cybersecurity questionnaire. we'd like to know where the candidates stand on cybersecurity, national security, critical infrastructure protection,
8:50 am
policy and law. to date, we haven't had many responses yet. we're hoping that'll change. what people can do is ask the same questions of social security as they do cybersecurity, the economy and jobs, make it part of the debate. jenna: it sounds like a good idea. morgan, thank you very much. terrifying, but important we're aware. fifty years ago it was the great blackout of 1965, and it hit during the evening rush hour stranding millions of commuters, impacting about 30 million people. the blackout also sparked looting and other crimes, and some first suspected it was an attack by russia, but the blackout was quickly attributed to problems with the lickly call grid can -- electrical grid. power was restored over the next several hours and similar blackouts struck in 1977, 2003, and so this is something in particular whether it's your internet lines or electricity, jon, that we want to pay close attention to. jon: well, as customers chowed down at one ihop, the parking
