robert mcfadden, paul cruickshank, thank you for joining us. >>> the u.s. and allies continue their campaign to degrade and destroy isis as well as khorasan. in the past 24 hours, coalition jets took a new target, oil refineries, robbery and extortion to become a self-sustaining monster on their rampage now across two middle eastern countries. >> this is just the beginning. >> just the beginning of a campaign the pentagon now says may take years. air strikes overnight killed 14 isis militants in syria, according to a human rights group. the u.s. and france striking more vehicles and warehouses inside iraq. and now the international coalition fighting isis is growing. isis, in its propaganda at least, remains uncowed, one video showing the stronghold of raqqa unharmed, with isis fighters even singing. but according to the pentagon, the terrorists' song was drowned out by this. 41 precision guided bombs dropped last night, by 16 fighter aircraft. six from the u.s., ten from coalition air forces. united arab emirates and saudi arabia. assets that u.s. forces a

a turning of the tables by candidates by corey gardner and gallespie and virginia elsewhere and mcfadden, congressional candidate to say, no, we're not against women and birth control pills. in fact we will make it like buying anything else in the store. you don't need a doctor to get a prescription. what's that -- how does that fit with the santorum thing about birth control being troubling? >> let's be clear about this. i do not know a single candidate in the entire country who's republican, including rick santorum, that in any way wants to limit or end birth control for women. so to imply otherwise would be morally wrong. number two the only distinct here between corey guard are in's position and other candidates you mentioned is the argument of whether it should be allowed without a prescription or with a prescription being required. that is really the difference. then third of all, one of the reasons that somebody like a corey gardner has to even do an ad like this is because the democrats have spent probably a billion dollars at this point trying to mislead people on this whole war

joining me now is robert mcfadden, senior vice president of a group. thanks for being with us. how do you stop these lone wolf actors when they may have no formal ties, they may not be on anybody's radar, and the kind of activities we're talking about could be very quick. i mean, trying to behead someone on a street. trying to shoot people in a movie theater or whatever it may be. >> along with randomness of these acts. for some context here in the current situation we're in, you have to recognize first that you really have a confluence of events and after a major u.s. military action unprecedented with regional allied support, you would expect an increase in situational awareness and the possibility of some acts. for more context, realize that isis encouraging lone wolf or small group attacks is nothing new. in fact, it's taking a page out of al qaeda's playbook. when major nadal hasan did murders in ft. hood, texas, al qaeda encouraged more of those types of acts. what it speaks to is extraordinary challenges of intelligence security to find out about these individuals but wh

what robert mcfadden calls a variable blitzkrieg. >> it is a sweeping of a movement, a vast loss of territoryt controls. and controlling it and keeping it are two different things. >> that remains to be seen. >> the isis propaganda magnifies every win, like this video in june with isis showing the destruction of a border between syria and iraq. and at the hands of iraqi and kurdish forces with air strikes and it is perpetuating that they lead the 1.5 billion muslims when in fact they do not. >> they have cost the world scores in human lives, innocent people, innocent muslims. and this type of organization, this type of terrorist threat simply has to be engaged. we can't avoid it. >> now the dhs secretary jay johnson said there is no threat to the u.s. homeland but there is a concern about lone wolves, that they may act in the name of isis. that has been the case since 9/11. and now maybe iraq has a new government and a new primary government, nouri al maliki who helped with the rise of isis because there were sunnies that were so angry about what was going on in the government. that could cha

. >> here's cynthia mcfadden with the sensitive side of an icon. >> while she was a take-no-prisoners type of gal. >> i hate old people. >> those who knew her best say there was a whole other side to her. kathy griffin was one of those friends. >> they're not disgusting. it is an honor. don't give me that face. i lost my go-to person. actually i got waxed and this is what was left over. >> griffin trudged her way up the stand-up ladder just as rivers had. and says without joan she never would have made it. what's the best advice joan ever gave you? >> the best advice joan ever gave me was, don't hold back, do your thing, screw if they can't take a joke, don't listen to the haters and the naysayers. >> just a few weeks ago the two sat down for dinner. >> i was talking to her about robin williams. and i said, so i know this is corny and you're going to make fun of me, but i just want to tell you, i love you, i appreciate you. i wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for you. and she was super cool. she half totally teased me, oh, please, stop it. do i have to pay the bill? and half actual

strategy could be, and should be, robert mcfadden, former u.s. military intelligence agent, and foreign editor with "the daily beast." thank you for being here. >> pleasure. >> bob, you first. when you talk, the president is going to need a strong coalition of the allies in the region to help, iraq being foremost in that. do you think that having the iraqi presence, boots on the ground is coordinated enough at this uppoint to work with u.s. r strikes and other actions on the u.s.' part? the president made clear three times in interview, no boots 0 the ground from the u.s. >> that's right. brief, no, it's inadequate up to this point. but with the upward of 1300 military advisers in country if iraq there's a lot of work in that respect going on right now. so that's a crucial component of combatting isis. >> don't you need it soon? even if we have our best and brightest on the ground, it takes a while. >> that's right. we have to put in the prosecutor perspective on the time sequence, which there is a great urgent sip you have air strikes and air co

during sunday's 19-14 loss to the jets, maurice jones-drew, darren mcfadden, and marcel reece togetherust 25 yards on 15 carries. >> we're just a little bit off as far as maybe it's getting to a backer, maybe it's getting a guy blocked on the edge. give you an opportunity to break off those big runs. we knew it was going to be tough to be able to run the football against this team and it was. >>> a's hoping to get away to the windy city to get out of an 8-18 slide. top fifth, oakland trailing against is white sox. one aboard, deep to right off hector know i wassy. his 11th of the year. jed lawrie joined in the fun. solo shot to right as well. his fifth this season. back-to-back jobs for oakland, 3-2. right now it is 3-3 in the sixth inning. the a's started the night with two up in the loss column on seattle, three on detroit, for the top spot in the a.l. wild card race. complete highlights of that game at 11:00 tonight. >>> for a full half hour of sports coverage, "sports net central" on comcast bay area tonight at 10:30. >>> one of the most recognizable airlines is getting a makeover.

and robert mcfadden, former special a jenlt gent in charge . >> you are concerned about the lone wolf possibility as we all are. i don't want to alarm everyone listening. at any moment, there is, possible a craze the gunman could do something in the united states. are we in more danger today because of the air strikes? >> we are in more danger period. because of -- of the communications networks that these guys have. you know, last saturday, i was on cnn on the show within 30 seconds after i went off the air, isis and awful their sympathizers and supporters began tweeting my comments. about shutting their communication networks down. going after the facebook accounts. going after twitter accounts. that's how they're going to be able to communicate with that lone wolf. with their people wher here in united states. look, reality is, we have anywhere, depending on who you take to between, 100 and 1,000 americans that are there. they have been murdering, massacring, dedecapitatindecapi. if they cup back here, walk into a school, mall, and they did what they did in -- 2004. >> that's a con

joining me is julia and terrorism expert robert mcfad d mcfadden.y raised the terror alert in july because of this group khorasan. how close did they come to carrying this out or is the jury still not out yet? >> well, with khorasan, it's not an offshoot but al qaeda central dispatch from senior ranking operatives into syria since the beginning of this year. if it's following that playbook of al qaeda's modis operandi, there's certain sequential steps to the plot. what we're hearing from other senior officials was it was in that final phrase, likely, where operatives would be dispatched to go operational. >> juliette, you're a former assistant department of homeland security. what are people at dhs doing right now trying to figure out how to fend off any strategy by this group khorasan that uses closed dipped in explosive material, nonmetallic bomb parts and something hidden in a toothpaste tube. what could be done to stop using such technologies? >> well, dhs has two roles. one is it is coming from foreign intelligence agencies as well as the cia a
