there's not one way to do something. no details too small. american express open forum. this is what membership is. this is what membership does. the political process in one u.s. state today fell completely apart. and while all states are equally important at some level right now, this is a particularly important state and their democratic process today just went kersplat. in an unexpected way. we had been following the story for a few days, i guess for a couple of weeks now. as the story has been getting stranger and stranger, today, truly, it went off the rails in a way that nobody saw coming. here's the stage for what happened. his name is chris kobak. he's the secretary of state in kansas.
3:01 am
he's the top owe elections official in that state. but he's also a national figure. he's trying to make himself the national model for how conservative republicans should run elections. he has been marketing this program to states around the country. it's called the interstate cross check program. the idea is to have as many states possible dump all of their voting records into this giant pool and then everybody sorts through those records, looking for any nefarious americans who might be registered to vote in two places at once. since chris kobak started coaxing over states into this project, it's grown to include more than 20 states, a hundred million voters are now voting under the cross check program, even though the program guide itself warns about a significant number of false positives. false positives makes it look like people are committing voter fraud when actually, they're doing no such thing. chris kobak has been famous for
3:02 am
making voters hand over new documentation that they've never had to show before. he has evangelized voter id laws. in kansas, where he is in charge, he's pushed the whole voter id thing even further. he's ended up in court defending kansas' new law which didn't make it just have to prove your identity with an id card, but it made you prove your citizenship. how would you prove your citizen ship? do you know where your birth certificate is right now? could you put your hands on it? as far as you can tell, you're not a citizen and you're not voting in kansas. chris kobak made these new rules so strict in kansas, they have to have a whole set of parallel rules for voting in state elections and federal elections. i mean, if you can't meet this new requirement being pushed in
3:03 am
kansas, then, in all likelihood, you can still vote for president and for congress, because those are federal elections. but you can't vote in your local races. you can't vote for governor or mayor or secretary of state. chris kobak just doesn't trust you to vote under kansas law. even if you are recognized as a vot voter nationally. separate classes of voting. i mean, we haven't seen much of this in this country since they used two-tiered voting systems in the jim crow south to keep african americans from voting. but kansas has brought it back. and is voting that way again in 2014, because if you ask him, some kansas voters are only half qualified to vote. 17% of the people who had otherwise lawfully registered to vote in kansas were not allowed to vote this year. they went through the trouble of registering but chris kobak said you're not registered enough. yeah, that might be good enough for you to vote in other
3:04 am
elections, but not here. that is the system that was championed in kansas. >> so those people haven't completed their registration yet. they can complete it tomorrow and vote tomorrow if they want to. and by the way, 72% of the people who have registered to vote since january 1, 2013, have completed their application and have sent in proof of citizenship. so those are the 28% procrastinators. i procrastinate sometimes, too. i'd probably be one if i were registering to vote. >> 72% of people trying to register to vote are getting there eventually. but the rest, procrastinators. 19,000 kansasans that would work to vote in any other state and would work for them to vote in a federal election, but not in kansas. not under chris kobach. he is a national conservative on
3:05 am
this stuff. he is their crusader around the country. he is the national poster boy for stopping any she nan begins in voting even if nobody's quiet sure what these supposed shenanigans are and it's stopping thousands of people from voting in kansas who would legally be able to vote under any regime other than his. you've got to stop the shenanigans. that's who chris kobach is. that's the stage here. and today, chris kobach is reaping the whirlwind. what is happening right now in the election in his state, it's, like, the fact that it's happening to him -- it's like -- when a family values politician gets caught in bed with a goat or something and it turns out it's a boy goat? really? it happened to this guy? this guy? yesterday, secretary of
3:06 am
state chris kobach lost a ruling in kansas. he had been trying to force a democrat to remain on the ballot for the u.s. senate race in kansas in year. the tkepl democratic candidate tried to quit the race, and mr. kobach was refusing to let him quit the race. the race we're talking about is the race for the senate seet held by pat roberts. this has become the most important senate race in the country as the republican party tries to take over the senate and they don't want to have to defend would ought to be safe seats. but roberts is in real trouble especially if the democrat in the race drops out, as he wants to. that leaves the roberts trailing a well-funded independent campaign. and in a two-way race between these two guys, everybody in
3:07 am
kansas understands the dynamics here. pat roberts has a much harder time keeping his seat in the senate. head-to-head, the independent guy looks like he beats him handily. and national republicans would have a much harder time winning the six seats that many are desperate to win. i mean, all states are important. but this kansas race is important like that. i mean, it's the whole country, right? so chris kobach, this is his moment. and as the chief elections official in kansas, he has tried to force the democrat to stay in the race. yesterday, the kansas supreme court ordered him that he needed to take the democrat's name off the ballot. the court ruled unanimously, all
3:08 am
the democratica hrfrpblgtly appointed judges, and it was in a minute, please. so chris kobach lost that court fight yesterday. and after he lost the fight, he went back to try to make this a three-way race anyway. he announced that he'd given the democrats agt days to pick a new candidate on the ballot. he also said he was pushing back the deadline in order to allow time for that to happen. he was pushing back the deadline because there's a certain date by which he'd have to sends out overseas military ballots. it's important to know here that they don't want to put anybody on the ballot. that's why their candidate drops out. the democrats are not going to rush to fill that ballot line on chris kobach's say so. it's important to know what chris kobach told the court before they ruled against him. he told them, officially, that as secretary of state, he was up against a hard deadline of tomorrow. saturday, september 20th. he told them already that's the deadline. it's a hard deadline and there's a reason they said that. that is actually federal law with a deadline of tomorrow to get those ballots sent out. the sunny skies
3:09 am
the associated press said there was an extension. the justice department had agreed to give mr. koebl a one-week extension on that deadline. i don't know why the ap reported that. today, the justice department said we don't know what you're talking about. there's no waiver for kansas. there's no extension here. that's the law. this is newsing to us. so now, the kansas secretary of state has changed his mind again. late today he said, okay, fine, i will send those ballots out tomorrow. i will meet that deadline because, you know, it is the law. he's not going to just send that out because that makes him too uncomfortable. he's invented a new way of electioneering.
3:10 am
he's going to send them a disclaimer with them. a disclaimer. an asterisk? a disclaimer on a federal ballot. kansas, i could not love you more. seriously, are you trying to get away with this? i thought i couldn't love them more. but then we actually got a copy today of the disclaimer. we got the letter/disclaimer that mr. no shenannigans is is about to send out with the ballot in this race and it is fantastic. ready? quote. two kansas voters, excuse me, two kansas voters receiving bat ballots to the absentee voting act.
3:11 am
literally, what i just read to you, that's what they're sending. that's the clear instructions they're sending. that's what they want the ballot to be. that's what they want one of the ballots to be. of the couple of different kinds of ballots they're going to have people voting onto vote for senate in kansas and the two different lists of ballots might have different lists of
3:12 am
candidates on them. and you're supposed to interpret that when you get that. you're, like, serving in germany. you're in the national guard when you get this with your ballot. and what exactly are you supposed to do? if you vote with the ballot that he sends you in the mail tomorrow, with this disclaimer sent along with it, if you vote that ballot, and then chris koeb sends you a second ballot, which of your ball lots is he going to throw out? the first ballot that you sent? what if you didn't actually use the other one that he sent to you? what if you like the way you're going to vote when you see the one list of candidates, but then when he sends you a different ballot with a different list of candidates on it later, you, like, maybe want to change your vote because you like that list of candidates better. which ballot are they going to count? and how are they going to know which one to count? and how are you going to know which one they did count or if they do count it? do you send back the disclaimer? no shenanigans. we also learned today that chris
3:13 am
said he is negotiating with the justice department to now try to move the date of the entire election. the election. the election day this year, november 4th, check your calendar. it's pre-printed in there. not for kansas. he wants the election in kansas to, instead, be november 12th. he is amazing to watch when he was trying to force the democrat to stay on the ballot. and then he ordered to choose a new candidate. and then he said they would not and then sent out the date wac again and now he wants to send one ballot now with a disclaimer and then he wants to send a replacement ballot that he says is the only one he will count and not the one he's sending with the disclaimer. and all of this from the man who's been lecturing america on how to run your elections right. bring your ids.
3:14 am
jump through flaming hoops with chihuahuas. everyone if that cuts 18,000 registered voters from voting, they're procrastinators and i'm chris kobach. and oh, this year, we'll delay the election a week. just for kansas. this story has been getting more fascinating with every passing day. but, today, it went completely nuts. i'll be right back. j.j. watt? you know there's a game on tonight right, amy? oh, i know, but it's my turn to chaperone. right, but you could do both. how? nfl mobile is now free with the more everything plan from verizon. i have verizon! download it, you can watch the game right here. come on, let's boogie! oh, helen. for the first time watch live local sunday games on nfl mobile. included with the more everything plan exclusively from verizon.
3:16 am
how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going to have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. hey there, i just got my bill, and i see that it includes my fico® credit score. yup, you get it free each month to help you avoid surprises with your credit.
3:17 am
good. i hate surprises. surprise! at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card and see your fico® credit score. this is charlie. his long day of doing it himself starts with back pain... and a choice. take 4 advil in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. honey, you did it! baby laughs! let's say you live in beautiful, rural north carolina. you live in a place so beautiful it's literally called eden. and, yes, unfortunately, there was a giant toxic coal spill in your river. but still it is a lovely part of the state and a lovely part of the country. if you live in that part of the rural north carolina, your guy,
3:18 am
forever, has been this guy, howard kobul. there's no real race for his seat. there's no chance that the democrat will capture his seat. it's rated safe republican, solid republican. whoever wins, the republican primary is expected to have a lock on that seat. imagine you are from there. now, imagine you are a muslim. i don't know how many muslims live that that congressional district. there are 2 or 3 million people muslim in the united states. statistically, the odds are some of them are in north carolina and some of them are probably even in that district. but imagine you are muslim and that is the congressional district you live and you have just learned that this guy is about to be your congressman. >> i've read the koran, as a minister, i have a copy of that. and if you hold the koran, every one of you people who are not islam in belief, you're infidel. do you know what infidel is? they have every right to kill you. i respected george w. bush and some of the things he did, but i
3:19 am
would beg to differ that islam is a religion of peace. you can't have a religion of peace where you have a billion people chopping off heads all over the country. >> a billion people chopping off heads all over the country. that's what being muslim is. meet remark walker. he won the republican nomination for howard kobul's seet this year. this video hosted it today and it started to get some attention in the north carolina press. not so much for him saying that islam is a billion people who all want to murder you. a billion people chopping off heads. that's getting less attention then what he goes onto say in the same event about wanting the united states to declare war on mexico. and not just any kind of war, but laser war. >> they got other people, other countries why can't we regard our own? >> my first answer to that would be to utilize the national guard as much as we can.
3:20 am
but i'll tell you, if we have foreigners sneaking in with drug cartels, to me, that is a national threat. if we've got to laser blitz somebody with a jet to make a point, i don't have a problem with that, either. [ applause ] >> i hope you wouldn't have any qualms about stopping up a little war with mexico? >> well, we did it before. if we need to do it again, i don't have a qualm with that. >> why would i have a qualm with that? laser'm. laser'm. boom. he's probably going to congress this year. do you think the house republicans are going to put him on the foreign relations committee? maybe the science committee? laser'm.
3:21 am
it's been a long time since foreign relations was a strong suit in the united states congress. or since having a third grade level grasp of the subject was a prerequisite. yes, maybe the democrat in the race will beat mark walker who believes every muslim on the earth is trying to kill you. maybe it suggests she will not and he is on his way to congress. today, president obama passed legislation which funds the government through mid december and also funds the expanded program for syrian rebel groups. there's no money attached to that authorization. congress is not going to pay for anything and authorization only goes for a few weeks until december. also, the cia already doing this in training of the rebels anyway. but they approved just a nonsecret version of something they're already doing. today, the pentagon announced two more u.s. air strikes inside iraq.
3:22 am
and they also announced that the first air strike was completed by somebody other than the u.s. military. a french military jet today also completed an air strike tonight somewhere in north eastern iraq. this is officially the joint u.s. air war in iraq. a joint u.s. french air war in iraq that congress has never weighed in on, approved or debated. but we are in this war with france, which does raise one point of potential awkwardness. the terms we use to describe that war are very different. when we talk about who it is that we are fighting against in iraq and soon-to-be syria, it's been confusing enough just over here. >> in this case, a strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. >> to degrade and detroy isil. >> isis will only be truly defeated when it's rejected. >> isil, isis, the islamic state, is, we use them all.
3:23 am
but, there france, our new partner, they do not call them any of those things. and that's not just because french is called something different. [ speaking french ] >> is that the french pronunciation of isis or isil? not al all. dash is essentially an arabic acronym for isis. that's used by some of the arabic states in the region. some of the rebels who hate isis in syria call them that. the syrian government calls them that. one of the great advantages is that they apparently really hate
3:24 am
it, the isis guys really hate it. d.a.s.h. is just an acronym their name. theoretically, it shouldn't bother them, but, apparently, it sounds similar to an arabic word to tremble upon. when you're talking about feet and shoes, that is not a nice thing to say about anybody in arabic. so, because it bothers them, that is what the french call them. d.a.s.h. it apparently makes isis really mad. really annoyed. and that is good in its own right. does it unsettle you? how about if i say it louder? but even though the french have made that choice, in our system of government, it is hard to imagine our members of congress in particular being able to manage the culturally sensitive nuance like that. laser blitz'm. but as our congress goes home now until mid november, until after the elections, what is likely to happen now in the war effort that is proceeding without any democratic debate in our country at all?
3:25 am
while congress is out, are we about to start bombing isis not just in iraq, but in syria, too. does the administration feel strained in anyway given that congress has not weighed in in any substantive way at all and they've just gone away for two months. is the fact that the u.s. is now operating within a 40 nation coalition, is that either constraining to what the u.s. would otherwise be doing if they were acting purely alone? or is that coalition driving the u.s. in any particular direction? is the course here set? joining us now is anne garen. diplomatic for the washington post. thank you for being here. i will not ask you about the laser war stuff. >> oh, darn. >> unless you want to go there. congress has not weighed in substantively on the war in iraq and syria. therefore, it is a diplomatic measure in terms of how the u.s. is proceeding. do you know enough from your reporting on what the u.s. is planning on doing?
3:26 am
>> certainly, what happened in congress over the last week was remarkable. there was a really sort of a crisis of conscience among democrats and republicans on what to do over this really minor funding and approval. >> a few weeks to make unsecret what we're already doing. >> absolutely. because they are all looking ahead to what happens next. after the midterms, they will actually have to reckon with whether this is a war effort that the united states congress wants to get bebehind. and that's a big deal. and so you have a -- you have a real issue of democrats who want to support the president on other issues, really not wanting to go all that far to support him on this. you have republicans who would ordinarily be going yeah, let's go after him, not wanting to give the president something that he's asking for. and then you have the noninterventionist republican wing saying we don't want to
3:27 am
start being the world's policeman. and all of those things are going to come to bear after the midterms when congress has to be an antiwar president asking for a war authorization. >> if they go there. it seems like they're going to go there. i sort of felt like they were starting to get embarrassed enough. they might have not done something when they left. i got excited when they were gone early from this past weekend. >> this is a fig leaf. the idea that you can do it under the 2001/2002 authorization in military force in iraq. no one really thinks that that's a viable war authorization going forward. >> so the administration is saying that in order to say they have a legal basis for going forward. they don't really believe that that's a strong business. >> it's a place holder until after they get passed the election. >> in terms of the u.s. and its relationship with its allies,
3:28 am
now there's this very important alliance with france, they're shooting things. are the u.s. negotiations in discussions with other countries about this at all constrained by the fact that we haven't done anything about it with our own democracy at home? do other countries care congress has not said anything? >> well, britain does. they have this very problem last year when -- right, exactly, parliament would not get behind david cameron and all of the sudden, had to go oh, wait, not so fast. so yes, parliamentary democracies completely understand the president's predicament. not so much when you get to the authorization regimes. in saudi arabia, they ponied up 500 million bucks. they don't have to have a congress to say yes or no on. so it's a very different set of circumstances for them. and, yeah, they do kind of wonder whether the united states
3:29 am
can deliver on everything as it promises when the president goes out and says x or y can happen and he can't totally 100% guarantee that congress is going to back him on it. >> and that's putting it a very small point. the absolute defining feature of his presidency on anything. i think if the president decides bombing raids are going to start in syria while congress is on vacation, it's going to be a responding moment. >> thanks, nice to have you here. much more ahead tonight including more breaking news at the end of a very busy news week and a cocktail moment tonight. please stay with us. we'll be right back. stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain.

and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

you be satisfied with the way the league has handled this crisis? >> roger, you had pretty extreme unilateral power in deciding discipline and you said you have got it wrong in a few occasions, and how willing are you to give up some of that power? >> well, rachel, as i said in my statement, everything is on the table. >> you've mentioned on tv last week, that you guys checked and tried to get the ray rice video. the atlantic city prosecutor's office says they don't have any electronic communication from the nfl. >> our security department works with law enforcement. they are fully cooperative. we gather almost entirely all of our information through law enforcement. and that's something else we're going to look at, rachel. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]? >> we asked for it on several
3:37 am
occasions. according to our security department, we asked for it on several occasions over the spring. >> adam glen here with tmz and tmz sports. i have to go back to the video and your curiosity to see the video. you suspended ray rice after our video. why didn't you have the curiosity to go through the casino yourself? we found out by one phone call. you guys have a whole legal department. we found out by one phone call. >> i can't explain how you got the information. only you can do that. >> he did explain. it only took one phone call. this is the splash page on the usa today website this afternoon. roger goodell emerges with a big thud. roger goodell would have been better off staying in hiding. the sports site ran this headline, roger goodell spends 45 minutes dodging questions. they always reliably snarky dead
3:38 am
spin -- goodell, i suck at my job. now trust me. this is supposed to be the day that nfl commissioner roger goodell came before the public, apologized and the league started to put it behind them. but just hours after that press conference ended today, the whole thing popped again in a huge way. late tonight, the espn investigative unit published a bombshell 7,000-word report. it's a report that paints a picture basically of a straight up cover up by the baltimore ravens. the public story, up until this point, is when the ravens and the nfl saw the video of ray rice knocking unconscious his then fiance in an atlantic city elevator, when they saw that tape when was released last week, the sub said that was the first they were aware of the brutal nature of that assault. the ravens had retained ray rice. but when they saw that tape,
3:39 am
they said everything changed. they released ray rice immediately, the nfl suspended him indefinitely. and that public story holds up. as long as it's true that the ravens and the league weren't aware of what really happened inside that elevator until lags week when the rest of the public first learned about it from that video, as well. according to this new report, this is just published online tonight, the ravens knew what was transpiring right from the beginning. they had 20 sources inside the nfl and what they are reporting is that just hours after that assault took place, an official with the ravens, 2 head of security for the team, was on the phone with an atlantic city police officer who had viewed that surveillance video.
3:40 am
>> it was not reportedly just this one team official who knew. quickly relayed the play-by-play to team executives in baltimore. that's february of this year. right when the assault happened. ravens officials knew then what happened inside that elevator, even though they professed shock when that video was publicly released last week. once ray rice was arrested after that assault, he hired a defense attorney to represent him and the ravens claim they had no access to that tape. ray rice's attorney, aparentally, described the tape in detail to dick cast. >> and that, of course, 1 exactly whachd. ray rice's attorney did keep him out of jail, a two-game suspension and the tape never got out. until it did last week. roger goodell was asked over and over and over again today about who in the nfl saw this tape
3:41 am
3:42 am
roger goodell was asked over and over and over again today about who saw the tape before it was released last week, and what is being reported is they were in on an effort to cover it up and make sure his suspension was only two games even though they knew exactly what he did. just within the last ten minutes the baltimore ravens have released this statement. >> joining us now is bill rowden, a sports analyst for the "new york times" >> it gets worse and worse and worse. but, you know, a couple things. if you don't understand the job of the commissioner, then everything you think you
3:43 am
understand about this is going to confuse you. the sole job of the commissioner, from the time he saw that young lady get beaten up -- forget the second or the first. from the time he saw that, everything was about protecting the shield. he gets paid $44 million a year to do anything he can do, lie, cheat, steal, to protect the shield. he's got 32 owners, a couple of whom are facing sexual abuse charges themselves. other guys are in drug rehab. this is the den of thieves that he's protecting. and so today's performance, and that's exactly what it was, it was so disingenuous. the whole idea -- he threw money -- now, thank god. let's look at the glass half full. thank goodness for the domestic hotline. line. that's great. who do we -- who do we get? who do we buy out.
3:44 am
you know, with what they make in one sunday, they can throw it at him. what are you going to do if you're the senator. thank goodness. they know, just like most rich and wealthy institutions, they know who to buy out. so -- >> so with the power that goodell has, that's his reaming. protect the league, protect the league's image to make money that's been so good for all of us. given that that's his job description, what could he do right? to make this situation better than it is. the chaotic nature with which they've addressed all of these situations recently makes me feel like there's incompetent there in addition to other stuff going on. >> first of all, he could act out a sense of morality. there's no one shred of morality in everything he's done rachel, from the very beginning, the
3:45 am
two-tpwaeupl s two-game susz pension, has been done out of a sense of reaction to the public and the shield. he sees this video. and the first question asked, and, see, this is why it's not a moral thing. if that would have been his daughter or one of his owner's daughter, see, the players just surface. if that would have been his daughter or one of the owner's daughters, we wouldn't be here today. we would not be here today. but everything he's done has been in reaction to public out cry. i give you two games. out cry. i come up with this harsh penalty that's not enough because there's out cry. no, the video comes out. okay. ray, you're gone. every single thing, including today's performance, has been basically a reaction, including throwing money at two institutions. but, good. good for these two institutions. but does that -- the face of this stuff has become -- the face of this has been black men and black women.

okay? black woman, black families. so the first thing he does, and men do it a lot of times, too, when there's a problem, first thing the men do is hit the white button. we're going to have a young black woman, we'll have a black guy, a lot of black families. so, to solve this problem, we're going to get four white women to be in charge to take care of this problem. well, why? it's cynical. now you're going to believe that because what the expansion of the new market is women. and not women of color. so everything they're doing is -- >> more white women that the nfl is under control. >> on your side. >> bill roaden, thank you for being here and good luck in cleveland. we'll be right back. stay with us. >> i love cleveland. >> you're the only one.

can't offer better? that radical news out of russia tonight comes as the most profitable company in the world, russia's best friend, exxon, has announced that it is pulling out of a huge russian drilling deal. it's a deal that putin himself had championed. exxon and a russian state-owned oil company were set to start a huge drilling project in the arctic. 8 billion barrels of russian oil in the arctic and exxon is going to drill it for them. not anymore. exxon now has had to pull out of that deal basically as soon as they started. and it's because of the sanctions against putin and russia that have been organized by the u.s. government and the european union. that's the world's biggest and most powerful oil company, exxon. not being allowed to do that giant russian deal anymore. and that radical news comes as we're just being informed of something else fairly radical concerns russia. the night before last, two u.s. fighter jets apparently
3:52 am
intercepted a big bunch of russian planes just outside u.s. air space after the alaska coast. now, u.s. military sources say that one or two russian planes get close to u.s. air space near alaska about ten times a year. not the most shocking thing in the world, but in this instance, it was something different. six russian planes, all flying together, two russian bear long-range bombers, two russian refuelling tanker, and two russian mig fighter jets. the fighter jets in particular, that is the sort of collection of russian fire power that the u.s. military says it hasn't seen flying that close to the u.s. since the cold war. u.s. air space extends just 12 nautical miles from land. the russian planes did not get that close. they didn't come into u.s. air space. they were in about 55 miles of the alaska coast. but still. norad put out the notice about this happening tonight. apparently the incursion

3:57 am
number one, is that you could declare independence. you could try to form into your own independent nation, a chance to be the world's newest country. that's huge news, right? that is only one of two ways that i can think of that a place like scotland would make global front page news. that's one. the second way scotland could make front-page news around the world is to change something fundamental about golf. scotland invented golf. the spiritual home of golf is st. andrews in scotland, the royal and ancient golf club. for 260 years st. andrews has been an exclusive members-only affair. the spiritual home of golf, and every single one of its members has always and ever been a dude. no women allowed. changing that, allowing women at st. andrews, that is really the only other way besides trying to become a new country that scotland could ever conceivably make global front page news. so they decided to do both of
3:58 am
those things on the same day. the tphpt independence thing did not work out. the no votes won by 10 points over the yes votes. but letting ladies into st. andrews, that is apparently working out. 2400 male members of the club were eligible to vote on the issue. they voted 85% in favor of letting women join. they're going to move forward to admit the first female members need immediately. so inhonor of scotland doing the two most noteworthy things it could do on the same day, and as a congratulations to uk prime minister david cameron who's not going to lose his job because of the way the vote went, here's how you make a classic drink called the cameron's kick. there are two kinds of whisky. we're using an ounce of bushnell's. then an ounce of a different kind of whiskey from some place else that is also and still part of the uk, famous grouse is a nice blended scotch from
3:59 am
scotland. so an ounce of each of those. it makes a difference actually. then you want half an ounce of fresh lemon juice, which weirdly enough it comes from this device. it's called a lemon. you do have an ounce of lemon juice and half an ounce of something french. mary queen of scots was raised in france and wrote french and kind of frenchy? that's my excuse for including a french ingredient called almond serum. shake it for longer than that. pour it. it's called cameron's kick. you use an orange twist as your garnish.
4:00 am
and when you are at st. andrews, who matter who is on the fairground in front of you, don't forget to say fore and cheers? have an accident weekend. manhunt overnight. drama in the search for a cop killer in the mountains of pennsylvania. are police any closer to making an arrest at this hour? a man jumps the fence at the white house and makes it a lot further than you would think without being stopped and this morning there are big questions. and then the fight against isis. u.s. and iran seemingly closer to some agreement. any answers? the roger goodell news conference, and we will hear the attempt to get past the huge nfl controversy. good morning, everyone. welcome the weekend's with
