so dempsey made illusion to all of that with a very skeptical eye. now, obviously, the chairman of joint chiefs of staff, the one given orders by the president is going to present the president with the options, but how much impact, i wonder, does the general think that had on congress, that skepticism from general dempsey and on the president in his deliberations? >> general, do you want to go ahead and weigh in on that? >> i do. >> that's precisely the challenge that, you know, general templesey countered with senator mccain and others perhaps on the armed services committee during his confirmation several weeks back, realized that was before the august 21st chemical attack. with that said, general dempsey provided his best military advice during the confirmation hearing is not only providing the best military advice to the president but obligated to provide that to, you know, both the senate and houses and certainly to the american people. and, again, i am think that from his standpoint, he is certainly trying to balance a whole lot of contingenci

i'm told that general dempsey was onboard with that. he presented options which were very limited in nature. that's why you see the limited buildup in terms of destroyerses and tomahawk missiles but not large ground forces or any sort of suggestion that there would be an air force used to go in and take out the air defense system to which would be complicateted because those are manned by russians. general dempsey has been onboard for a limited mission. i did hear earlier this week that once the u.s. did not decide to strike earlier in the week, that times that as the time went on chairman dempsey's advice was you can wait. let's wait and see how the regime reacts and how the other regional powers react and let's let them -- scramble a little bit for the next paw days. you heard the president say very clearly that chairman dempsey had told him that a military action would be as effective in the next coming days. as had would be in next coming weeks or months. will was sense of -- urgency that they were seeing the pentagon and the intell

. >> i have tremendous respect for general dempsey.is one of the most intellectual joint chiefs we have ever had. but i just don't agree with the logic that we are dealing with all these bad choices. there are degrees of badness here, and the regime is the worst of the choices. what we are doing by holding back is allowing the iranians, has the law, and the russians to actively aid and assist militarily, diplomatically, politically -- you name it. >> who do you give the weapons to? >> we have the units that are not under control of the jihad east. we know who they are. they are mainly in southern syria on the jordan border. saudi weapons are getting through to them. i don't understand the logic that just because it would be dangerous to go all in with boots on the ground, or no-fly zones, we cannot do a lot of the little things to help get this war over. the longer the war goes, the better the bad guys that mr. dempsey is worried about, the stronger they get, especially in the north and northeast. i say let's not look at it as a black

"grey's anatomy" actor patrick dempsey has severed ties with tully's coffee.empsey had sued his business partner for allegedly taking out a two his knowledge. the actor helped acquire the seattle-based company out of bankruptcy earlier this year. dempsey resolved the legal dispute friday.and tully's will continue to operate under its current owner. still ahead on the kron four news weekend. residents near yosemite national park are worried their homes could engulfed by the raging there. when we return, we'll hear what those folks have to say about the fire. we'll be right back. we're new to town.ells. welcome to monroe. so you can move more effortlessly... we want to open a new account: checking and savings. well we can help with that. we tend to do a lot of banking online. you play? yeah discover a mobile app that lets you bank more freely... and feel at home more quickly. chase. so you can. live look outside. mount tam let's take a quick look outside this morning. your saturday forecast. this afternoon we are expecting a breezy conditions. >> low to mid 80s

the best strategy, dempsey said, is the development of a moderate syrian opposition. dempsey said there is infighting among the many rebel groups and some include al qaeda militants. the u.s.-backed rebels have not received the weapons promised to them by the white house two months ago. the white house still believes that a negotiated settlement is possible. next week, u.s. and russian envoys will meet to plan peace talks, an idea that has very little support from the assad regime or the rebels battling them. >> schieffer: all right. thanks, margaret. ousted egyptian president hosni mubarak was transferred out of prison today. a helicopter carried mubarak, who is 85 now, to a military hospital in cairo, where he is being held under house arrest. the move comes amid a military crackdown that's left more than a thousand dead and hundreds in detention. mubarak still faces a retrial in the deaths of protesters at the end of his rule. in this country, trading on the nasdaq exchange stopped suddenly today. the market, heavy with technology stocks, blamed a technical glitch.

question seems to be political and that's a serious problem what we're looking at is and general dempsey was absolutely right it's fine for president obama or anybody else in the administration to say this is not about regime change libya wasn't about regime change until it was this is not about a major intervention this is only a narrow set of surgical strikes well that's fine until they retaliate and then what happens you know imagine if there's a small surgical strike against syria and syria then retaliates against a u.s. base in one of the neighboring countries against israel against a u.s. plane against who knows what do we really think the u.s. is then going to sit back and say well no we said that this was only a one off we're not going to respond that pulls the u.n. in sorry that pulls the u.s. when the u.n. is being excluded that pulls the u.s. directly into a civil war with great. great danger for the region for the world absolutely phyllis we have so many things coming out right now so many different parts of information that we're only starting to put this bigger picture toge

dempsey. >> the correct answer is mark harmon, $525,000 per episode.ur question, who makes more, jim parsons from big bang or "two and a half men's" ashton kutcher? >> "big bang theory." >> i saw the squeeze go on. >> he goes -- >> go on. >> ashton makes $750,000 per episode. "modern family's" sofia vergara, or jane lynch from "glee"? >> jane lynch from "glee"? >> sofia makes $175,000 per episode. a late night battle right here, jimmy fallon or jimmy kimmel? >> jimmy kimmel. >> fallon with $11 million per year. i would have gotten that wrong, too. >> with he both would have been wrong. >> guess what? we're complete losers. >> it's a tie. you were horrible. the new tv guide is coming out tomorrow. >> up next, hollywood's cutest kids revealed. strahan's girls, elvis' mini me grandbabies and the most fashionable twins. guess who? crazy video, honey boo boo's game of redneck wipeout? then two hot exclusives. is this america's next top supermodel? and david beckham thatted up and stripped down. >> what's he selling? >> who cares. >> plus, mike tyson's punch

interesting sayings that came out last year in the midst of the libyan crisis was general martin dempsey saying that libya and syria are two fundamentally different things and the way that we approach those countries because they are so fundamentally different i want to play a clip from martin dempsey talking one year ago and then we'll talk about that in terms of today. you believe if you needed to you could militarily intervene in syria in the same way you did in libya not the same way we did i mean syria's a very different challenge it's a different challenge that is you describe geographically it's a different challenge in terms of the capability of the syrian military that they are very capable they have a very sophisticated integrated air defense system for example they have chemical and biological weapons now they haven't demonstrated any interest there any intent to use those but it is a very different military problem a very different military problem indeed whether that was a year ago or today that fact still stands we all the fact that stands today that didn't stand a year ago

so happy to be here with patrick dempsey.omy." tenth season. i cannot believe it. derek shepherd or mcdreamy to some of us has become part of our lexicon, pop culture and we also will talk about racing le mans which is your newest project. "grey's anatomy," hard to believe that show has been on and striving for ten seasons. >> it's pretty remarkable. we just started our 200th episode last week. and we're all mystified and grateful too. it's been quite a ride. >> we all got the chance to hear how wonderful shonda rhimes is and how loving and giving not only to the actors but the entire crew and gave you all cruises. >> yes. >> that's amazing. >> she was tuning in oprah. everybody gets a cruise. everybody gets a cruise and lifted the spirits of the cast and the crew and everybody was really just celebrating the success of it. realizing how fortunate we are. >> have you guys decided when you'll go? >> oh, i don't to when i'll go. >> it's really, really great. continued success. when does the new season start? >> september i thin

how much of an impact would d p dempsey make an immediate impact. this game sold out almost immediately when people, fans of the seattle area found out that dempsey, the national team, the guy who has been in the english premier league for six-plus years is coming here. he already had an impact putting butts in the seats. can he have an impact on the field in if he can't, they have miss spent their $5 million a year. we expect him to have an impact on the game i know sounders have passionate fans, draw 41,000 fans per match, double more than any other team out there in the mls. why is seattle such a hotbed soccer town in america? >> it's not just seattle. it's seattle, portland and vancouver bc to the north. there is a lot of history here, a lot of soccer here i am standing where the kingdome used to be and the sanders of the north american soccer leave used to pack the kingdom when pelei would come to town or when portland or can couver came to town because there is a great regional rivalry. some of the players who came here from europe to play 35,

seems to me when you hear that from general dempsey, you are hearing this is a bad situation and no easyclear answers. >> there have been many bad situations, but the u.s. decided we had to act. whether this is one of them, to juan's point, chairman of the joint chiefs writes in a letter to elliott angle, syria is not about choosing between two sides rather choosing among many sides. it is my belief the side we choose must be ready to promote their interests and ours when the balance shifts in their favor, today they are not. congressman engel said i rejects that that constitutes choosing sides between one group or another. rather our involvement is a choice between hastening the end of the assad regime or allow the cycle of violence, displacement and terror to continue unabated. >> they're both right. engel is right, particularly had we early in the civil war put our efforts on behalf of the rebels, before the jihadists flooded in from iraq and from afghanistan and elsewhere, and when the bulk of the rebellion was spontaneous, secular nationals from every segment of the population, we w

it is not nice. >>> abel villegas came face to face with superintendent mike dempsey and the pendleton to prove he was ready to go home. >> you need to be truly committed to do away with those gang affiliations that you have. i don't believe that you're anywhere near that. >> unfortunately for him, though, they weren't convinced. >> when it comes to looking at harm you caused to others and your victims, it seriously concerns me. >> it's like parole board for juveniles, and so it's a high stakes process where the juvenile offender has to convince the board thatter ready to go back into society. that they've completed their program and that they've learned something that they can use when they leave. >> they have absolutely no empathy in regards to them that i can detect. even in the most minute trace, there isn't any. >> and as you saw, as we went through that, there were some concerns. >> back in his unit villegas contemplates another month at pendleton. >> it makes you miss your family a lot and you just -- you don't have that much freedom in here. you always -- you have people tellin

the problem, as dempsey has outlined, is we don't have a partner in this. syrian opposition is dominated by islamists. and that makes it very difficult for us to jump in because the last response that was given to this situation was to arm and send lethal weapons to the opposition. if we send more lethal weapons, we're going to destroy what remains of the syrian state, and there are 1,000-some-odd militias running around syria. the situation could become a lot worse. now an occupation force of over 100,000 people in order to freeze the situation begin to supply food and aid to people, we're only going to make the situation worse. >> warner: what i'm asking is, is there a sort of moral dimension to this, that at some point-- i think that's what you're saying, maybe come back to you, mr. schwartzy. at some point, the west should stand up and do something militarily for moral reasons? >> both for moral reasons and reasons of national security interests. what we're seeing right now in syria is a rogue regime that has used weapons of mass destruction. we're seei

i spoke to obama's top military adviser, general dempsey, about the terror threat, and this is what he said. >> there's a significant threat stream, and we're reacting to it. >> is the threat to blow up an embassy, a consulate or something else? >> that part of it is unspecified, but the intent seems clear. >> and the intent is to what? >> the intent is to attack western, not just u.s. interests. >> representative ruppersberger, let's start with you. what specifics can you tell us? you heard what jon karl reported. this sounds like a very frightening, very credible threat. >> yes, it's a very credible threat, and it's based on intelligence. you know, what we have to do now is most important is to protect americans throughout the world, whether the intelligence community, our military or people in the state department and citizens living throughout the world. we know that al qaeda and other people out there want to attack us and kill us and our allies. the good news is that we picked up intelligence, and that's what we do. that's what nsa does. nsa's sole purpose is to get information i

colin dempsey -- clint dempsey lured away by a $4 million contract big at least by american standardsms have a $3 million yearly salary cap. by comparison though the nba cap is nearly $60 million per team. >> they still have a long way to go and they know it. there's no surprises and they're trying to be disciplined, organized and cawfer careful inw they spend money. >> beyond the cash considerations, also to help dempsey make his choice. >> to be able to play what you love, in such a market, getting that european experience but being able to live in the states that's priceless. >> now soccer may never top america's big 3 in popularity, baseball, football and basketball, they are drawing a larger number, a couple more than the new york yankees this season. selling out every home game they played, 45 straight. >> northwest is the epicenter of soccer, it's in our blood. >> and there's a natural three-way regional rivalry. >> it's ainsane. nothing like i've ever experienced before as a soccer player. >> argentinian malo gonza -- rosales has experienced it before. >> passion they put into

the president insisted that general martin dempsey is said it didn't matter if he acted today or nexty is at the ready when he says go. the president said in the rose garden he thinks it is better to have congressional buy in. take a listen. >> yet while i believe i have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorization, i know the country will be strong if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective. >> the bottom line as white house officials acknowledge in private that there was concern and some division within the administration when the president came in late last night and informed his staff and the war cabinet at the defense department that he completely reversed course on his own. they insist at a national security council meeting this morning the entire team came together around the idea that this is a smart move they believe because polls are obviously showing the public is not interested in more u.s. intervention in syria right now and it would be better to get this debated out, the pluses and minuses on capitol

. >> who makes more, "ncis's" mark harmon or "grey's anatomy's" patrick dempsey? >> patrick dempsey. >> correct answer is mark harmon. $525,000 per episode. all right. here's our question, courtney. who makes more, "the big bang theory's" jim parsons or "two and a half men"'s ashton kutcher. >> "the big bang theory." > i saw the squeeze go on. >> go on. ashton makes $750,000 per episode. "modern family's" sofia vergara or jane lynch from "glee"? >> jane lynch from "glee"? >> sofia makes $175,000 per episode. late night battle right here. jimmy fallon or jimmy kimmel? >> jimmy kimmel. >> fallon with $11 million per year. i would have gotten that wrong too. >> we would be both wrong. >> we are both losers. >> we are ending as a tie. you were horrible, ladies. >> in sunday i will be glued to the tube watching the v.m.a.'s on mtv. but over on own, oprah has a revealing interview with one of the biggest names. teeny turner and her husband. >> i saw you as we were talking about the old days and ike. is it hard for you to share? >> o pulling no punches in her tina exclus

seems to me when you hear that from general dempsey, you are hearing this is a bad situation and no easyr answers. >> there have been many bad situations, but the u.s. decided we had to act. whether this is one of them, to juan's point, chairman of the joint chiefs writes in a letter to elliott angle, syria is not about choosing between two sides rather choosing among many sides. it is my belief the side we choose must be ready to promote their interests and ours when the balance shifts in their favor, today they are not. congressman engel said i rejects that that constitutes choosing sides between one group or another. rather our involvement is a choice between hastening the end of the assad regime or allow the cycle of violence, displacement and terror to continue unabated. >> they're both right. engel is right, particularly had we early in the civil war put our efforts on behalf of the rebels, before the jihadists flooded in from iraq and from afghanistan and elsewhere, and when the bulk of the rebellion was spontaneous, secular nationals from every segment of the population, we would

general dempsey doesn't think that will be enough either.u do to stop the violence versus just being very -- >> as people in syria have pointed out, you know, well cal weapons, this is the international community is rightly upset and appalled by this. but look what assad has been doing all along with conventional weapons. he's slaughtered tens and tens of thousand -- >> 100,000 people have died. >> it's not like this is -- you know, the idea of atrocity is new. it's been going on for a while. what's also been going on, frankly, is a rare politic reluctance, not on the part of the president but most members of congress i would say and most other allied nations, to get involved in this conflict without kind of knowing -- >> getting involved in the conflict. >> right. without knowing we can come out with a better outcome than -- >> let's be honest. we don't have a good history in getting involved with these conflicts. dempsey noted there's a deeply rooted conflict between multiple factions. that sounds familiar to me. whatever we're spending on

joints chiefs of star dempsey has made it clear he is opposed to american involvement in syria's civil. pretty direct conflict between dempsey, kerry, the vice president and now the president. >> you see it in europe and the united states, as well, the british defense forces, the british military, the french military, the german military are all against this. military in capitals that are our allies are against this, including our own, because it doesn't comport with reality on the ground. people aren't asking the basic question to see the real evidence of what's gone on on the ground. there's an assumption that it had to be the assad government without waiting for the u.n. inspectors to come back. this is exactly what happened in 2003. you have the military not wanting to get basically hood winked yet again to invade yet another muslim country and cause american real damage in terms of lives answered treasure. >> i've got to address the american public not sold on a syria attack because of what you said, the latest poll had only six out of 10 americans that do not want the u.s. to int

general dempsey himself has been two opposed very publicly to an extended military campaign in regards to syria, but is going to undertake, of course, whatever the president orders in this instance, and all indications are that it will be limited. that's what the president is talking about. military families war weary. the pentagon, you know, stretched to the limit over the last several years. but the president is laying out a case at least at this point publicly for very limited option, and that would be these five warships in the eastern mediterranean with their tomahawk cruise missiles, very precise weapons, guided to their targets by satellite coordinates, 1,000 pound warheads, so a lot of lethality, and the idea is they quickly get to this list of targets they have in regards to syria's chemical program and get the job done as they see it. brianna, victor? >> barbara, could you elaborate on that list of targets and what specifically they might be trying to hit? >> well, our understanding is, you know, it's a target list of perhaps something under 50. and it gets revised along the

according to superintendent mike dempsey, jacob has no one or no place to take him in. >> it could be, to there being no guardian, no relative that's willing to take the offender in. it could be that they've exhausted all of the other community placement treatment programs that were out there, and we're having to dig and try to find as best we can somebody else to take him. >> in his final comments about what he sees for his future, jacob reveals one last wrenching detail about the life he left behind. >> normal, good life for me? going back to school so i could finish my high school diploma, take care of my little girl, get married to my girl's mama. take care of them. pretty much normal. >>> due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> america's prisons. dangerous. often deadly. there are 2 million people doing time every day. it's a battle to survive and to maintain order. >> down on your feet, down. >> pendleton juvenile is the last stop in indiana for young offenders who committed serious crimes. we spent months inside where the staff is determined to rehabilita

the head of the joint chiefs, general martin dempsey has been very wary about getting involved in syria. today, he was in jordan, which is one place where american planes may stage, if there is any kind of american strikes, they may be flying from jordan. on the other hand, we have secretary of state, john kerry. we heard him earlier. chris talked about the words he was using for force. let's listen to more of what he had to say >> president obama has been in close touch with leaders of our key allies and the president will be making an informed decision about how to respond to this indisriminate use of chemical weapons. but make no mistake: president obama believes there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people. nothing today is more serious and nothing is receiving more serious scrutiny. >> ted, do you agree with chris, that it sounds like it's already been decided that we are going to do something, and is this speech by john kerry a first big step toward preparing americans for what they may have planne

germ dempsey is on record with opposing some of these options. these pictures may be that game changer. for the second time in three days the president's national security council is meeting, you noticed comings and goings. we believe it started a three arrests ago here--three hours ago here in washington, and no details of outcome yet. we do know secretary of defense chuck hagel, he spoke to reporters on his plane. he's giving steps towards options. we know they've redirected cruisers, cruisers that were scheduled to leave its tour of duty. the president has repeatedly emphasized this has got to be deliberate. there has to be an international aspect to this. the united states is not going to go alone. but if you look at the signs including the meetings, the repositioning of battleships and cruisers and the president yesterday in interview in the wake of these pictures you're asking me about, richelle, calling it a core national interest to make sure that assad does not deploy these chemical weapons, you have to wonder what the president is consi

general mart din dempsey wrote in a letter, quote, once we take action we should be prepared for whatlvement is hard to avoid. that's a feeling many current and former military officers echoed when they spoke to the "washington post" newspaper. with us now, bill cowen, a fox news analyst. the criticism i there's no end game so why begin the game? >> i almost believe the president may be wondering the same thing in his statement he said he is still considering whether he is going to do something, and i think what he meant was, whether he is going to do something or not doing in, and general dempsey, who i don't always agree with, is absolutely right. i don't think we in the u.s. have to worry about repercussions. the israelis have to worry. the iranians have been very outspoken about attacking israel. the syrians, if something happens in israel where they're issuing gas masks and reserves have been called up. if something happens in israel that could galvanize the egyptians. they all dislike israel. but galvanizees people in other areas like iraq and we sunnies and shias are slugging o

interests, according to dempsey. here is what he said about the intelligence information that led to the 22 embassy and consulate closures and the world wide travel warning. >> it is more specific and we are taking it seriously, which i think you would expect us to do. yeah, there is a significant threat stream and we're reacting to it. >> on capitol hill, the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike rogers, put out a statement saying, this is, quote, a sober reminder of al-qaeda's determination and ongoing intention to commit acts of violence on western and u.s. targets. the threats against american interests are real and serious and we must not let our guard down. president obama was briefed this morning on the al-qaeda terror threat and the white house says he'll be getting updates all weekend at camp david. arthel? >> arthel: tell us why it seems that they're focusing on yemen? >> that's where al-qaeda is based. the plot could be planned there or could be carried out there. but according to o

giant chiefs staff dempsey outlined number. should u.s. engage?apons would be the choice, but $1 million a piece. then training the rebels. if it got to the point of putting a no-fly zone in place, costs could be pushed to a billion dollars a month. joining us now with more on the syrian crisis, ron sanchez. welcome, sir. great to have you here. we were going to talk about healthcare but now that the news is breaking around us, we want to focus our sights on what is at play now. i understand you were part of the briefing that were given to members of congress yesterday. from the white house. can you tell us how much you actually learn in the brie briefing? >> i think what we learned or they affirmed was what they think assad did in terms of using gas. they said, i think correctly, that that is a serious issue. that deserves international attention. what they didn't really tell us is how the proposed action that they are contemplating would further the interest in either dealing with assad or with wmd. so i think that remains unanswered. they stres

>> with school and counseling mandatory, superintendent mike dempsey also helps to give juvenile offendersther than crime once they're released. >> we've been working on a program called future soldier program. essentially what it would do, it would identify offenders in our population who would qualify to be a future soldier. the idea is to be able to release them directly from the facility into the military service without there being any delay, without there being any community transition delay in place. >> patience is key for staff in order to turn troubled kids around. >> we had, for example, a couple offenders a while back, they would act like they was committing suicide and everything else. we went in on them and they're really not committing suicide, they're trying to hurt staff. you don't want to see it, but it does happen. >> the individuals who choose to work here and who stay, who stick it out through the difficult times of working with the adolescents are people that i say, if they can do this job, they can do any job. because this job will challenge everything about you. ♪ >>

what our military is telling the president, what the chairman of the joint chiefs general dempsey is telling our president is you cannot think without the knock on the following consequences. you have to think about the attack on jordan. you have to think about the attack on turkey, not to mention the attack on israel. and you are to have the forces in place. we just moved an aircraft back into the mediterranean. >> wouldn't they love to get israel and fight? >> of course they would. >> if you're syria, wouldn't you love to make this an arab versus israel fight? >> maybe some support in the region for assad that he doesn't have. getting the u.s. involved helps him in a lot of ways as well. what general dempsey says juxtaposed about what some people are saying on the op-ed about preserving credibility. it's nice to preserve credibility, but that's also an abstraction, which is the reality of getting stuck in a military situation where you have to go back and again and again and again and you get sucked in without any outcome. >> i have to admit i'm all prejudiced when it comes to this

dempsey said he is against a no-fly zone and many say it's simply not practical or would be effective in this situation. so what is left? the option of cruise missiles to degrade much of assad's military capability should the united states government and its international allies choose to go the military route and by no means do we have any indication that has been decided. one more thing, the president, the white house twice today in a brief statement mentioned the international community. no way the administration is going to go forward alone on this. they are going to try to build some sort of international consensus. it remains to be seen what exactly that would look like. >> it does remain to be seen. i would imagine there is some frustration with the international community with this ongoing situation and gauging the u.s. response. >> certainly there have been other countries have come out with much more forthright statements. certainly the u.k. and france have as well. i should mention that the president also spoke with the u.k. prime minister david cameron today, talked about
