was. thank you for hanging with us. it is great to be here. bill: we are going to be here all week. check it out and as our coverage continues, our colleagues on happening now. we will see you again later and see you at 2:00 o'clock, martha. martha: see you then. bill: bye, bye. ♪ ♪ ♪ john: can you believe that election days three weeks from tomorrow. candidates have one major hurdle to clear, the third and final debate. we are looking forward to that. good morning to you, i'm john scott. jenna: hillary clinton is off the campaign today to preparing for donald trump. while mr. trump heads to wisconsin for a rally tonight as he ramps up claims of a rigged election. questions of what those claims can do to the democratic process down the line. john: two national polls give us a look at the state of the race and washington post poll clinton

leading trump by four points in a four-way race. at an nbc wall street journal poll, shows clinton with an 11-point lead over trump. jenna: we begin with our senior national correspondent john roberts live outside trump tower in new york, john. >> good morning to you. the system is rigged against him for a couple of reasons, firls of all, it energizes his voters to get out to the polls and potentially he's laying the ground work here to lay blame if things don't go his way on november 8th. today tweeting out, quote, i can't believe the phoney stories, 10% made up by women. many already proven false are pushed big time by the press have impact. he tweeted about this, though, there's no proof of any

widespread corruption or voting process, he said this morning, of course, there was large-scale voter fraud on or before election they. why do republican leaders deny what's going on? so naive. running mate is dealing that back a bit. he at least has faith in the voting process. listen to what he said. >> we will absolutely accept results to have election. the american people are tired of the obvious bias in the national media. that's where the sense of a rigged election goes here. we will accept the will of american people. between now and election day we are going to work our hearts out against all odds, against most of you in the national media. we are going to lay out a story for a stronger more prosperous america. >> mike pence saying rig does not relate to the voting process, it's political process. donald trump to meet with advisory team this morning and then most of the day of debate

prep and head to go green bay, wisconsin tonight. you might remember a couple of months ago, donald trump at a rally in green bay through support of paul ryan endorsed him, now at war with speaker of the house. paul ryan, doesn't know how to win, failed four years ago, must start focusing on the budget, military, vets, et cetera. those are the issues that donald trump wants to focus on at wednesday night's debate but he has a big hurdle because surely he will be asked about allegations of the nine women coming forward. he needs to have a good answer for that so that he can move on to the issues and people inside the campaign say at the moment he does not have a good answer. they are hopeful going into beginning of september he was 11 points down. he's down four points in a couple of new polls now. they believe that if he has a good debate wednesday night and

there's not the drip, drip of further allegations dogging him for the next few weeks, hea may be able to poll and have at least a 50-50 chance. jenna: three weeks to go. we want to remind everybody. thank you very much. john: hillary clinton taking time off the campaign trail at home in new york ahead of final presidential debate wednesday in las vegas. that's where we find rich live right now. rich. >> good morning, john. hillary clinton has been home in new york since saturday. a few hours each day to prepare for third and final debate on we understand. she has made no public appearance since last campaign event on wednesday, the previous wednesday. she did allow cameras into a couple of fundraisers towards the end of last week. clinton herself is spending less time at campaign events than opponent or any other major party candidate since 2008.

this according to review by the boston globe, in its analysis the boston globe finds in the past two and a half months clinton has held 52 campaign events, donald trump over that time has had 88 over the same time period in 2012, president obama held 74, mitt romney 76 and in 2008 obama appeared at a 108, that is more than doubled clinton's 2016, senator mccain was up to 100. clinton is leaving much campaigning to surrogates and videos. campaign is releasing a new ad including florida, ohio, north carolina, it shows famous movie characters bullies, in fact, from movies lick back to the future and karate johnny lawrence. displaces video of trump and at the end showing hillary clinton showing compassion towards a girl who has bullied at school.

yesterday senators elizabeth warren and bernie sanders were campaigning in colorado. the clinton campaign needs that democratic party perhaps problematic showing releases over the last few weeks, shows some of hillary clinton's paid speeches to wall street, most favorable to wall street than she has been showing in public remarks. the clinton campaign has been aggressive in combating releases. the campaign refuses to address whether they're actually authentic and they deflect and talk about how this is a massive crime, unprecedented akin to the watergate break-in 40 years ago and saying that the u.s. government should be outraged of the fact that the russians are trying to interfere this much in the u.s. election. john and jenna, back to you. john: nice day, rich, thanks.

>> very nice. jenna: for more on the state of the race let's bring former howard dean campaign and karl rove. both fox news contributors. great to have you both as we take in the political scene three weeks before the election. carl, i'm curious what you think what the pollster says. he said at this point in the race the cake is baked. do you agree? >> i don't. look, we have a number of polls. the wall street journal, nbc poll shows the biggest margin for clinton of all of the polls, abc/washington polls. the fox poll has 7 points. the nbc poll may be an outlier, too rich a night for hillary clinton. race is much closer. look, this race is -- he has an uphill climb. no doubt about it.

very difficult to see how he gets there but the race has lots of twists and turns and has for mu left in it. jenna: joe, your thoughts. >> i don't know if baked in the cake but an uphill battle for him to get there, whether it's 11 points in nbc/wall street journal or 4 points washington post abc poll. even the bottom edge of that range, the 4 points, barack obama won in 2012 by 3.9 points. all signs when you look at the real clear politics average of 5.5 lead that clinton has, unless he can somehow use this debate to get people to take another look at him and reopen people's eyes, i don't think there's any chance here. jenna: let me ask you, joe, about that, if you looked at the numbers way early in the

campaign when we were still maybe in the primaries. if you went according to popular, donald trump would not be the candidate that we are talking about today. he continues to fill these rally spaces with 10,000 people, there's still a great deal of enthusiasm. what about that which is the thought that this individual many thought would never make it to this point and he did an continues to stay in the race? >> two things on the washington post poll you have actually hillary clinton exceeding trump for energized supporters, even i find like would never have predicted. she's got 83% that are enthusiastic. he has 78%. he's actually losing ground on the energy side which is not something that's good for him either, but the other thing, i think, that is about sort of baked cake thing, early in primaries, well, maybe he will pivot and they give him the

benefit of the doubt, i think the whole country even his own supporters have concluded that's not going to happen. jenna: what about that? let's ask carl about that. what do you think what joe just had to say? >> well, look, first of all, trump remains to have an advantage among those who are enthusiastic. joe is right, those vary in somewhat she's ahead. the momentum is going her direction n. early september she was 32% of supporters were enthusiastic, now 43. 43 were enthusiastic for him in early september and 47% today. he still maintains edge among the most enthusiastic but it is a problem no doubt about it. here is another problem he has. neither one of these people is well thought of. her favorable, unfavorables in abc/washington post and the problem for him among the 14% in the sample who are not for trump today and are not for hillary

clinton, 71% is unfavorable among those people. he does have -- he does have a path but it's an awful tough one because people are tilted against it. jenna: people would say about paths, i'm just going back to what we have seen and wondering if we are going to see a different result than many thought. here is what john wrote in the chicago tribune in a column. i want to get both of you to weigh in on the feeling of the country. he writes this, a political realignment is coming no matter how this election turns out but that won't happen for a while and in the meantime we wait, stunned and in a few weeks it will all become quite gamey, that's probably why americans dream of taking a long hot shower to scrub our brains out with soap. i wonder of campaign fatigue, what that does for either candidate when it comes to who is showing up for vote. >> i do think there's a lot of fatigue out there but i think both of them represent energy

for the other side to turn out, even if you have questions about trump. if you've got angst about hillary that's going to get you out. the same with hillary supporters, i actually don't believe it's going to be much lower turnout. but i do think that the column is right about sort of the realignment, the clearly parties are changing who they're reaching and who different groups are moving in support of one party or the other is absolutely happening right now. we won't see how it comes out until after the election probably maybe even not until the midterms of 2018. jenna: in the meantime we all hope to get our hands on the soap just to get things clear. >> yeah, i think that's right. the point of realignment. every realignment that's

happened in american politics has come because a leader stepped forward with optimistic vision in the country. neither candidate is offering such a vision. there will be a realignment. one party is going to gain an advantage by my sense it's not going to be in this presidential election. jenna: both of them feel like they are. whether it's really fundamentally positive is an interesting albuquerque. great to have you both, thank you very much. >> thank you. jenna: first time ever a fox news anchor will be moderating a general election presidential debate. award-winning journalist chris wallace regarded as best questioner in the business will moderate all important final debate between donald trump and hillary clinton. this make or break event weeks before presidential election 2016. john: the long awaited battle for mosul has begun, the

u.s.-led coalition to drive isis fighters out of key city in the north, what we are learning about the strategy, and service restored three weeks after a deadly train crash in new jersey. the extra precaution is being taken to make sure ridders there are safe. also we want to hear from you. donald trump has said that this election could be stolen from him as a result of widespread voter fraud, do you agree or disagree with his statement? our live chat up and running our live chat up and running right now, go to foxnews.com/happeningnow to join the conversation introducing otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic

john: fox news alert in the battle for mosul is underway now. iraqi troops and kurdish forces closing in on the city in a coordinated operation to drive out isis. the u.s.-led coalition also helping with the support in the air and on the ground and the outcome of this battle will have major consequences for the region. con or powell live from mideast bureau with more.

conner. >> isis controls two major population centers one raqqa and syria and the other mosul but today operation after months of planning began today. iraqi prime minister abadi announcing on television early in the morning that the operation had begun, u.s. and coalition jets began pounding isis and after the sun rose in iraq iraqi troops and forces began to move closer and closer to that city of mosul. most of the fighting happening in the outskirts. several cities have been taken on the outskirts of mo sill but fighters have yet to push into mosul. the strategy it appears as to come from the south and the north and the east allowing the western part of the country or of the city to be open so any isis fighters who do want to flee can flee and also expecting a million or so refugees to flee

the city during the fighting. it's expected to be one of the largest humanitarian refugee crisis alone and the fight, though, is expected to take some time. iraqi forces did take their time, they're trying to limit civilian casualties, also tried to give isis as much time to sort of flee out of the area and to deal with cleaning up operations after they flee. what we have seen in previous iraqi cities is a lot of booby traps and a lot of fighting in small areas, isis has not put a gigantic fight other than specific small areas in the city and that's what they expect as well that isis will honker down in different parts of mosul and they will put up a fight there but not for the larger city. this will take time, john, the iraqis and coalition are taking their time and go in slowly to avoid civilian casualties. john: seems strange though that

coalition forces are giving isis fighters an opportunity to get out, doesn't that allow them to cause problems another day? >> i think the theory is most of them will leave iraq once they are given the chance to get out of mosul. i don't know this for a fact but i heard people speculate that if they leave iraqi, the iraqis will be perfectly happy to let them go with syria and deal with them there. right now the iraqis are primarily concerned with liberating their city mosul and not what's going on across the border in syria. john: complicated stuff. conner powell, thank you, conner. jenna: back here at home rail service most ri restored at the terminal. six more tracks opened up this early while three tracks will remain closed for repairs. new jersey transit officials say trains will reduce speed from 10 miles an hour to 5. officials say the train was

traveling twice the speed limit when it crashed back in september injuring more than 100 during the very busy morning rush. one women died while standing on the platform when she was hit by debris. john: one person killed in a massive explosion at a chemical plant. we will tell you where this happened and what might have caused it plus new questions on the e-mail investigation over alleged quick proquo over state department official and fbi agents. the fbi releasing the files, what those contain

you both have a perfect driving record. until one of you clips a food truck. then your rates go through the roof. perfect. ♪ for drivers with accident forgiveness,

john: right now one person is dead, six injured after an explosion in south western germany. the blast went off early this morning at a facility owned by the chemical firm basf, six people remain unaccounted for.

nearby residents are advised to stay inside and keep doors and windows closed because of the explosion under investigation but we do know the facility is used to unload flammable liquid and liquid gas. jenna: now the fox news alert on new development on the clinton e-mail investigation. fbi released files given to the house oversight and intelligence committees that sources say contain allegations of quid pro quo from senior official and fbi agents. live from washington bureau. >> we are going through the one hundred pages of documents posted by the fbi within the last hour and the critical player is someone called patrick kennedy, undersecretary for management in the state department and like the chief operating officer and he served directly under then secretary of state hillary clinton when she was using the server. and this is the critical fbi

interview and it comes from july of 2015 and in that interview an fbi agent makes clear that there was a discussion of a quid pro quo between kennedy and the fbi agent and the reads in part redacted, that is the fbi agent, indicated he had been contacted by patrick kennedy under secretary of state who had asked his assistance in altering the emails classification in exchange for a quid pro quo, redacted, the fbi agent advised that an exchange for marking unclassified the state would reciprocate by allowing the fbi to place agents in countries where they are presently forbidden. there's also additional 302, this one comes from september and in that fbi interview it makes clear that kennedy wanted to change the classification to

a code known as b-9, a rarely used code, it's highly specialized for geographic intelligence and it says here specifically kennedy further stated that the b-9 classification would allow him to archive the document in the basement of the department of state never to be seen again. you see what kennedy's objective was, it was to shield the classification so that it would never be public and this would do damage control for secretary clinton, jenna. jenna: how is that not a crime? who directed this? >> well, the question is who directed, patrick kennedy acting on his own, was he acting at the behest of secretary clinton who was then out of office or did he just understand that that was required? what i would say that based on wikileaks we have seen now that there was clear coordination in the handling of the emails between the department of state which is funded by the taxpayer and the clinton campaign. we had statements late saturday from the state department and

the fbi saying that this quid pro quo language was misleading and did not align with the facts but what, in fact, we see statements from the fbi and state department were the issues that were misleading, not the documents. it's very clear what went down here. jenna: thank you. more on this, thank you very much. john: well, donald trump is crying foul three weeks before the presidential election. he is alleging voter fraud, accusing the media of rigging the race in favor of hillary clinton is he right to make those claims? our media panel weighs in. >> the corrupt media is trying to do everything in their power to stop our movement. our media is, indeed, sick and it's making our country sick and we are going to stop it.

>> the election is rigged. it's a rigged system. it's a rigged election. this is a rigged system, folks. the process is rigged. this whole election is being rigged. these lies spread by the media without witnesses, without backup or anything else are poisoning the minds of the electorate. john: donald trump ramping up his claims that the media are bias and that the election is rigged. the republican nominee taking further suggesting the polls are rigged as well. just this morning he tweets, quote, of course, there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. why do republican leaders deny what is going on? so naive. let's talk about it with today media panel kelly, commentary writer for washington times and lynn for the chicago sun times

and alan colmes by fox news radio. lynn to you first and just focusing on the polls. polls have been wrong before, could donald trump have an argument that the polls are tilted against him? >> the polls are -- no, he doesn't have an argument unless he tells you where and what jurisdiction he's worried about and if he had a real campaign, then his next announcement would be that the lawyers for trump squad would be in a particular jurisdiction trying to make sure that the vote is fair. that's what happens when you suspect voter fraud. there are thousands of, i believe, thousands of voting jurisdictions throughout the united states, you can't make a blanket accusation, john, and have it make any sense without any facts behind it. so this assertion is not a

fact-free one. you need to bring some evidence of a problem. he has not. john: a couple of surrogates and supporters rudy giuliani, newt gringrich were on the sunday morning chat shows and amplified on the claim that donald trump is making. i want to play for this now. >> well, he talks about a rigged election. he'll not talking about the fact that it's going to be rigged at th about that 80 to 85% of the media is against him. when you look at the "the new york times" at the top of the paper there are three stories that are antitrump. some of them totally baseless, some of them silly. >> i think that without the unending one-sided assault of news media, trump would be beating hillary by 15 points. john: kelly, take that on. would donald trump be doing better if the media weren't piling on? >> the fact that he's losing to hillary clinton by 4 points in washington poll speaks to that. the media is throwing everything

at the kitchen sink and then the kitchen sink at him over the past week by a 7 to 1 margin donald trump's sex wandal was covered compared to wikileaks scandal. it's donald trump against media, democrats and republican party. what he needs to do is rile up the base and this is an issue with the right-leaning -- conservative base. there are legitimate fears of voter fraud going on and he needs to voters to come out and turn out for him. >> he has to prove it. john: go ahead, alan. >> he has to prove it. rudy giuliani, we were just talking about the media. >> yes. >> extremely dangerous. we have a peaceful transition of power in this country and he's inciting people to rise up and claim a rigged election. this is the most dangerous thing we have seen in years in an

american election. >> i don't believe that at all. mike pence yesterday said that they would accept whatever the electoral outcome would be. i take mike pence's word for it. in terms of voter fraud there's -- >> prove it. there's no voter fraud. >> that are illegal. there's an fbi investigation right now of 20 people who registered for this election that are dead. so there is items of voter fraud that are going on. but there is voter fraud that's happening. >> wait, wait, no one is saying that there is no voter fraud, where it exists, address it. that's very different than saying that the election is rigged or that there's unknown voter fraud. you just actually moved a wonder point. the system works. the system works and it's being addressed. i applaud you. you proved the point that alan and i are trying to make. you have a specific situation

and you see a and make sure that local authorities are addressing it. >> what about in pennsylvania, lynn, where the secretary of state in pennsylvania mailed 2.5 postcards to -- to people who had driver's license urging them to register to vote but the secretary of state did not check whether these people who had the driver's license were illegal or legal residents and were applicable or eligible votes. this is out there. >> the problem is that donald trump is talking about this election prevoting already being rigged and there's no proof of that. he's saying the election of november 8th will be rigged. there's no proof of that. a desperate man trying to save candidacy and he's speaking insanely to try to save his behind. >> alan, i would like to flip this back at you. isn't the democrats saying that russia is trying to hack and influence -- >> yes, yes. >> how is that -- >> you're trying to change the subject. >> i'm pointing out what the

democrats are doing. >> let's stick with one thing. [inaudible] >> if your point is that we've gotten honest and true electoral system and i do believe that why are the democrats out there trying to say that russia has a hand and -- >> donald trump is undermining our democracy by trying to de-- john: in any other election cycle it would seem that the wikileaks revelations about what's been doing on inside the clinton campaign attitudes about various people would be front page news, but all of it seems to be getting buried under this avalanche of bad publicity of donald trump. is that appropriate? >> well, i don't know if i agree with you. john: point taken. >> that's not -- there are plenty of stories on wikileaks

and there's even flow of news cycle certainly when you can't ignore the video tape with donald trump making sexual or inappropriate remarks about women to say the least. you can't ignore women coming forward who have stories to tell about sexual advances. he has a defense, he could make it. but the point is there are so many outlets now for people to get information and wikileaks themselves are out there for people, wikileaks.org, you could look for yourself. this is an amazing opportunity for people who are curious just type in the names of people you're curious about and those emails will pop up. so i think there's no -- there is no curve to any information that any wan wants about hillary clinton and her emails because of the internet every story that's being written by the various news outlets is available to almost everybody. john: always fun to have you three on. we are going to have to wrap it up there. thank you very much.

we appreciate it. >> thank you. jenna: too bad they don't have a strong opinion on anything. it's so hard, right. [laughter] gin general tens of thousands of people in north carolina are still feeling devastation from hurricane matthew. that state estimates flood waters have caused $1.5 billion in in damages and figures can change. pat mccrory is expected to give us news today. >> we really didn't have time to do anything but just grab a few stuff, grab our babies and go into the attic until the rescue team got there. >> i saw all the water. somebody banging on the door, you have to get up, the community has made it easy for us to just push forward. i'm looking forward to tomorrow. today i'm ready to go to church. jenna: 26 people were killed in matthew-related incidents. some stretches of i-95 are still

closed today. john: administrator at the university of virginia taking on rolling stone magazine over now discredited article about a gang rape on campus at a fraternity house there. will this multimillion dollar lawsuit hold up. our legal panel takes a look. but former assistant coach whose testimony helped convict jerry sandusky back in court why he's asking for millions where he played quarterback

john: new information on a story we have followed closely on happening now. jury selection begins today in a defamation lawsuit against rolling stone magazine. university of virginia administrator nicole is seeking almost $8 million from the publication over now discredited 2014 story about a woman being gang raped at a college fraternity on campus. the article portrayed her as indifferent to the woman in question.

so does she have a chance of collecting a judgment? let's bring in legal panel today . the judge has ruled that this former associate dean, dean of students at the school who is suing is a public figure, tell us first why that's important. >> it is vital to the case and makes it a lot more difficult for her to prove her case. if she were not a public figure the standard would be negligence. was rolling stone negligent, instead because she's a public figure it's actually malice, did they know what they were printing was wrong or did they have reckless disregard for the truth. >> how does a dean of students become a public figure? russell skowronek that's just it. the court limits her and she's public figure in this lawsuit.

she's not a general public figure but the standard is going to be the same, as difficult as heather points out for purposes of the case. she did something very smart, however, in her complaint she did allege actual malice. she has that going for her and a lot of facts in support of her claim. john: she received death threats as a result of this article. people were writing the most torr -- horrible things to her and she's the dean at a university. >> she has damages. her job changed. she's making less money but what she now has to overcome is this hurdle of can she prove that they had reckless disregard for the truth, the best evidence, i think, rolling stone went and asked colombia to review article and colombia really picked it apart pretty strongly. john: right. >> that's strong evidence for her. there's a defense for rolling stone where they try to separate the rain story from the way they portrayed the deap and that's going to be hard for the jury to

figure out. john: the colombian review of this article was a third longer than the article itself and found that it was just badly done, you know, they didn't do the basics. they didn't get the names of the four -- the reporter didn't get the names of the four guys that she said that the victim was supposed victim had raped her. >> rolling stone we wanted to tell the story the way they we wanted to tell the story and the word here is it was a story and colombia was right and everybody else is right, the story got retracted four months after it was published. factually speaking, if we can get over the legal hurdle, the the dean has a case. john: we will keep our eyes on this one and let our viewers know what happened. the civil trial begins in a lawsuit filed by a former penn state assistant coach. mike is looking for $4 million in damages, he claims the school retaliated against him by not

renewing the contract after he ones saw jerry sandusky sexually abusing a boy in the teen shower and reported it to his boss joe paterno. does he have a case? >> he does have a case. the problem is that this is a jury with nine women on it which sometimes makes a difference and the claim for the defense is going to be you did not intervene, you did not go to the cops, you did not do anything, so is it truly defamation to say that you participated in the cover-up if you didn't do anything to bring this to light. john: he reported it to his boss and reported to two school administrators the next day, what more is this guy supposed to do? >> that was a big point of con tings when it was occurring, i think at the essence of any

whistle blower case which this is, is the person being fired because of reporting by wrong doing by the employer or being fired for cause, for some other reason and that's what the jury is going to have to measure here. >> that's where they are going to say he was being fired because he didn't intervene and report to the cops. john: he was suspended as soon as the investigation came to light. a strange story. we will keep viewers informed. thank you both. >> thanks, john. jenna: more tensions off the coast of yemen with the u.s. warship in the cross hairs, who could be behind possible missile launch at the uss mason, we will get more into this story next i'm a republican, but this election is so much bigger than party. my son max can't live in trump world. so i'm crossing party lines and voting for hillary. i don't always agree with her, but she's reasonable. and she's smart. she can work with people to solve problems.

i want to be able to tell my kids that i did the right thing when it really mattered. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.

john: let's take a peek at outnumbered.

sandra, harris, what do you have? harris: democrats are calling it a scare tactic. who is right about that and will trump respect results of election? sandra: does this suggest a cover-up. harris: is the election stressing you out? you're not alone. the results of a new survey. sandra: all that bus our #one lucky guy. his name starts with a chris. harris: he is not stressed at all. john: three weeks from tomorrow we vote. all the stress will melt away. thanks, see you then. [laughter] john: fox news alert, u.s. navy investigating a possible missile attack on a group of american warships in the read sea.

the u.s. destroyer, the uss mason appeared to have come under attack and the press reporting what was believed to be missiles being fired out of yemen all this very important. greg. >> hi, jenna, yes, more tension off the coast of yemen this past weekend and once again, the u.s. navy is being targeted. it happened again off of yemen, officials are investigating what seems like missiles fired the uss destroyer mason and other ships in the red sea possibly by houthi rebels in that country. if confirmed the third attack in such a week in response to two other attacks, last week another ship launched a barraged of cruise missiles at the houthis. navy officials say that perhaps other radar was used in this

weekend's barrage, the mason used counterdefense measures, we are told. there was no damage, there were no sailors injured. this is the first time that the u.s. has directly involved in a two-year war in yemen. ethnic houthi rebels backed by iran are clashing by a saudi-led coalition backed by the united states. some 10,000 people are dead in what's considered increasingly a proxy war and by the way, jenna, a couple of iranian naval vessels are headed toward that region. a proxy war and possibly a dangerous one. john: new next hour of happening now, amazing rescue caught on camera. the human chain formed to save a driver trapped after a fiery trap. and fallout from the wikileaks release. is there evidence of a quick proquo arrangement between the fiduciary duty and the state det (music playing)
