Party, didnt vote with him. They refused to back the bill and the obvious rationale is they dont trust treat syrian army. They dont think it is an army and they dont believe you can trust the rebels and that means the plan wont work. San grant is going to start off our coverage from australia. Because we want to figure out what happened with this terror plot that was thwarted. What weve seen here is being described as the biggest antiterror raid ever in australian history around 800 Police Involved in new south wales, australias biggest city, sydney and brisbane, in queensland, weve been told by police that 15 people have been detained, some of those resisting arrest. One man has been charged and will appear in court. The allegation here that these people were planning a terrorist attack. Being described as a random attack against a member of the public, to be carried out on the streets of sydney. Now all of this comes as the terror warning in australia has been increased from medium, which would have been a possible attack, to high, which is a likely attack. Now, new counterterrorism laws have been announced as well and theres been increased funding to try to deal with the threat of terrorism here in australia. Prime minister tony abbott is particularly concerned with the number of australians, the scores of australians, who have gone to iraq and syria, to join the fight with Islamic State. Our thanks to stan grant. You have to remember the key phrase there is isis sympathizers. The concern obviously social media and recruiting spreading a message of hate thats being picked up around the world. Lets keep our focus on isis and head back to d. C. And the house vote on the fight against isis. Erin mcpike has more on this from washington, what have we learned this morning . The president met with 20 highlevel members of his National Security team yesterday afternoon as they refined the strategy to deal with the threat of foreign terrorists. Now that house vote yesterday was a small, but symbolic victory for the white house. But questions are piling up on bod sides of the aisle. Showing growing doubt that the National Security strategy can be effective. President obama commending members of congress. The amendment is adopted. For approving one piece of his strategy in the war against isis. I want to start off by saying thank you to house members, republican and democrat, who came together today to pass an important component on our strategy for dealing with the terrible terrorist organization known as isil. A rare show of bipartisan support in the house. Though 71 democrats broke ranks with the president. What in the world are we doing . Instead of rushing into yet another war, flooding the region with more weapons and intervening further in a civil war, congress should be pressing the pause button. Joining 85 republicans in rejecting the measure. I will not vote for something that i know will not work. Arming islamists to fight other islamists is not a winning strategy. The president urging the senate to follow the houses lead. No more war. On the other side of the capitol, secretary of state john kerry facing a grilling, insisting the Syrian Rebels require american support in lieu of actual troops. Senator mccain knows it, hes been screaming about it for some time. Weve all been screaming about it and have done nothing or not much to talk about. Any mission against isis is achievable without a dedicated ground presence as the president promises. It seems to me the administration has placed many, many, caveats on what we will not do. And our military leaders have urged you to put special forces on the ground, but no, were not going to do that. So this doesnt even seem serious. Just one day after joint chiefs chairman, general Martin Dempsey opened the door to a possible ground presence, president obama coming face to face with troops on Macdill Air Force base doubled down on this promise to them in the fight against isis. The American Forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. They will support iraqi forces on the ground. As they fight for their own country against these terrorists. Now, White House Press secretary, josh earnest also clarified dempseys remarks even further yesterday in a briefing on air force one saying he meant officials in advisory roles might need to embed with iraqis in combat, but they wouldnt be personally engaging the enemy in combat. Erin pike from washington. I want to continue this with robin wright, a middle east analyst from the Woodrow Wilson International Institute for scholars. Lets start with erin left off, that the white house seems to continue to want to clarify that they believe theres no distinction, no difference, no daylight between what the president has said, very often, no combat troops on the ground and what general dempsey was saying. We heard from secretary kerry yesterday, right in line with the president. They seem to be trying to draw a bright line between a combat mission and being in combat. Is that a difference, is that a distinction without a difference . Is that a difference without a distinction . I think the whole operation is still evolving and theyre operation building a lot of options for the most. They dont want to put in combat troops, but they want to put in advisers, maybe the advisers have to move out of baghdad, closer to the front lines. It looks a little blurry at the moment it may take some time to figure out what role the advisers play on the ground. The idea i think is not to put enormous numbers of Ground Troops on the front lines again. Is it a problem for the white house, the administration, not domestically, even though it is important, but also when the world is watching, that the message seems to be muddled . Where are we going and are we all on the same page . I think its a problem not just in the United States, but around the world as they look at the role of the United States and the broader coalition, who is going to contribute . What roles are they going to play . Its all very vague, i call it a house of cards coalition, you have a very kind of wood frame without the support beams, the furnishings, the floor plan much less the financing. And i think the United States as americans look at another third war in 25 years in iraq, theres a little bit of confusion about not only what are we exactly going to do on the ground for how long in iraq. But then theres phase two, the big question, the much more murky question is what happens when we try to beat the Islamic State out of syria. Which is a whole different operation. Lets talk about that. The house voted on bipartisan basis, yesterday, to approve arming and training the rebels. That means there was bipartisan opposition to the vote as well. The senate is expected to pass it. Has the president , has secretary kerry, has the Administration Made a convincing enough argument that arming the rebels will work . I dont think so. I think theres, there is the dilemma they face. If youre going to take on isis, if you cross the threshold of getting involved, can you stop at iraq . And the danger is no, if you really believe you need to degrade and destroy it, you have to move beyond the frontier and move it back toe its origins. Otherwise youre just containing it. If they can withdraw to syria, still be a threat, no the just to iraq, but to everybody else in the region. They can still attract more foreign fighters, they can be a very destabilizing force, longterm in the region. So the challenge is, what do you do . And if were not going to put Ground Troops, then you support rebels. The problem is the rebels have not yet proven they can do very much of anything. At least the ones were prepared to support. We heard that a lot in the Senate Hearing yesterday, i heard that over and over again from senator bob corker. Who he says i have been a supporter of arming the rebels for a very long time. But at this point what is the Free Syrian Army . Does it exist . Is this group that the president says is a group of farmers and doctors that are just coming together, it was a fantasy they were going to make a difference can we trust them . Can we trust that theyll be able to hold onto the equipment that we, the iraqi army, which has been trained by the United States, wasnt able to hold on to the sophisticated equipment. What are the prospects of these, farmers and pharmacists are going to be able to hold on to the equipment . If its going to take three years to retrain the iraqi army which weve already retrained, how long will it take to train the syrian rebel force . How much time realistically do you think they have to train the rebels . What do you think is the timeline that they can realistically be working with . I doubt they have a timeline, i suspect theyre talking about an initial round of training to get people on the ground, to be more dynamic, to take on whether its isis or the syrian government. I think this is a longterm operation, this is a war that could last as long as the one weve already fought in iraq and potentially for longer. Far beyond the three years that have been forecast in recent weeks. I want to get your take, the new Prime Minister to iraq has been commended by the administration as bringing together a more inclusive government in iraq. The good first step of bringing about the political reconciliation that theyve been looking for. But in an interview with the associated press, he made very clear that he does not want foreign fighters on the ground in iraq. Saying very simply, and well put up part of the interview with the associated press, not only is it not necessarily, we dont want them, we wont allow them. Full stop. Hes talking about United States forces, u. S. Ground forces or others. Well particularly after the u. S. Intervention the last time around and the way we left iraq, frankly. That to be legitimate the government knows it needs to be the one to be seen to run the operation, to coordinate what happens and to be the one whose forces are fighting. The problem in iraq is, because the iraqi army, half of the iraqi army isnt effective enough to fight. We heard that from general dempsey. Exactly and the other half needs to be retrained. In the meantime, theres three shiite militias that are loyal to iran, the peshmerga, the kurds in the north, will be fighting. The danger down the road you may find you have the emergence of war lordism is the United States going to work directly with the shia militias . Well whether the advisers work with them remember, were getting into the murky territory. The irony is the United States and iran are now the two most dynamic players when it comes to advising and aiding the iraqis to retake their own territory. A complex situation to say the very least, robin wright, great to see you, robin. Coming up later, were going to be talking to a key member of the Free Syrian Army, the rebel group that robin and i were just talking about. The rebel group that the United States may soon be arming and training. Youll want to hear that interview, it will be the first perspective on whats going on with the Free Syrian Army. We want to tell you this morning about the nfl. The hits keep coming for the league. Breaking overnight, another star running back, this time arizonas Jonathan Dwyer, deactivated after his arrest on Domestic Violence charges. Police pulling him off the teams practice field. This, after the Minnesota Vikings bans star running back Adrian Peterson until his child abuse case is resolved. And the Carolina Panthers banned star lineman greg hardy. He had been playing. His situation now is going to be frozen until his appeal from a Domestic Violence conviction is figured out by the system. Nischelle turner is here with the latest. At least with the newest case, the league took action immediately that just, isolates the player until the truth is figured out by the system. Indeed and that is a good point. We could look at that as progress. But chris, with everything going on and the spotlight squarely on player conduct and Domestic Violence in the nfl, seemingly the last thing people expected was to wake up news to yet of another player arrested for Domestic Violence against a woman. Its dwyer, hes in. This morning, Jonathan Dwyer, a running back for the Arizona Cardinals, now in custody. The football star is the sixth nfl player making headlines for alleged abuse in the past few days. Dwyer arrested at the cardinals Training Facility. Stemming from a slew of alleged abuse beginning in late july, including one count of aggravated assault against a 27yearold female, causing a fracture. And another involving his 18monthold child. He has been interviewed by our detectives. He has admitted involvement in the incidents. However, has denied allegations of physical assault. Police say during one incident, he threw a shoe at the 18monthold. Then tossed a cell phone of the female victim out a window, preventing her from calling police. The cardinals say they have taken the immediate step to deactivate jonathan from all Team Activities. Jonathan dwyer, who had the touchdown half a dozen nfl players across the country are now facing Domestic Violence charges. Theres no rule book for this, guys. Wednesday, Carolina Panthers defensive end greg hardy took a voluntary paid leave of absence after being convicted for Domestic Violence. In may, Authorities Say hardy choked his thengirlfriend, dragged her by her hair into a tub and threatened to kill her. The panthers star has asked for a new trial. We played a mistake. And we needed to get this right. The Minnesota Vikings deactivating running back Adrian Peterson, facing a child abuse charge. Retracting from an earlier decision to keep him in the game after sponsors voiced their outrage. Many of petersons teammates say he should stay on the field. Growing up, that was nothing, man, my mom, she always whipped me up or and things like that, man. Just you know, in my culture, thats how i was raised, thats how my mom, she raised her kids, like i said, man, look at me now, im in the nfl. This is the argument weve heard continuously from a number of players about the Adrian Peterson case, we heard from some of his teammates yesterday, who were either hesitant to talk or they backed adrian fully. Everyone seemed very uncomfortable. As some former and current players why it was so hard for people to take a stand, nfl players to take a stand. They said its a hard thing to talk about and no one wants to look like theyre turning on their teammate. Chris . It is a difficult situation, thats why you need leadership and it has to come from the league. Later well speak exclusively with Adrian Petersons close friend and former coach. Mick . A look at your headlines. Mounting concerns about the suspected pennsylvania cop killer, who is still on the run. Police are concerned that eric matthew frein may target more officers. Frein was active in a military simulation unit, the reenacted cold war era european conflicts, Corporal Byron dickson was killed in fridays ambush. He was laid to rest yesterday. In missouri where Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson has appeared before a grand jury. Wilson testified for close to four Hours Wednesday about the Fatal Shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown last month. Officer wilson was not required to appear, but reports from the hearing say he was cooperative. Browns death, as you know, sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests and calls for wilson to be indicted. Toronto mayor rob ford set to undergo aggressive chemotherapy after he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Doctors say a tumor in fords abdomen turned out to be a malignant lipo sarcoma. The treatment is aimed at shrinking the tumor. Doctors say theyre optimistic. Earlier this week ford said he was dropping his reelection bid. A sad twist in a sad, sad story. Thanks, michaela. Its judgment day as the scots go to the polls to vote on independence. Both sides mounting a lastminute push for votes. Christian amanpour will be joining us live from edinburgh.

Lets just say, i saved him 519, and it certainly didnt go toward that ring. Am i right . [ laughs ] [ dance music playing ] so visit progressive. Com today. I call this one the robox. Welcome back to new day, happening right now in scotland, millions of voters are deciding whether to remain a part of the United Kingdom. Ould overturn vote on hundreds of years of history. Americas chief ally could be torn into two pieces. Even the union jack, the flag is in danger. Despite lastminute push from both sides, the contest remains far too close to call. So lets bring in Christiane Amanpour, cnns chief international correspondent, monitoring the situation. We hear that turnout could be very, very high. But you tell us, christiane, how does it feel on the ground . From all reports, it is pretty brisk here. And of course they do expect a turnout of some 80 . The kind of turnout that would make people envious, politicians in the United States envious. There is a 97 Voter Registration thats happened here. It is really extraordinary, it gives you a sense of just how critical this is. Just how engaged everyone is. And as you say of course, it is on a knife edge. Now the obviously the nationalists, Scottish National party, the pro independents, people say this is our moment, this is our destiny. This is our chance to be independent and run our own affairs. The no campaign, the unionists, those who want to stay part of Great Britain, are saying look, it is much better, it is much stronger together. Be prepared for at least a decade of Economic Uncertainty and Economic Hardship as the very painful transition goes through. But no matter what happens, even if its a no vote, even if its to keep the United Kingdom together, there will be a lot of change. Former Prime Minister gordon brown spelled it out. He told me its inevitably going to be much less central control. Britain can no longer think of itself as a centralized state, a unitary state of undiluted westminster sovereignty, thats changed and in some sense were moving closing towards the american model of government and models of government that we see whether its very considerable decentralization. Canada, australia, germany. Very big decentralization in these countries, i think thats the model well see in the future. Now, that is quite dramatic, the first time weve heard them say that Great Britain, the United Kingdom, could end up looking like america in terms of its politics. Very, very interesting. One thing to note, its been very bitter. Even nasty in some cases over the last several days between the two camps. Most famous brit, who is a scot, is andy murray, probably in terms of sports. Andy murray who said today on a tweet that the negative campaign by the no is swaying him and hes used the independents language of, lets do this. Hes been swayed. On the other hand theres a campaign of intimidation that we hear by the independence people. Weve seen a major british political reporter booed out of a rally. We saw a major British Party leader run out of a Campaign Appearance here this week. It is, it is quite nasty as the campaigning ended and now the voting has begun. Chris . Christiane help us out here. People will recognize that scots are known for fighting spirit. The last time most in the u. S. Thought about scots and independence, they were watching the movie braveheart and it was mel gibson running around. Why is this happening, especially now . Well look, i think that this was an inevitable process after devolution. In 1997, thenlabor Prime Minister tony blair started this process, scotland got its First Independent parliament. Scotland right now is able to run its own Health Service and that is one of the key platforms in this campaign. We want to protect our own Health Service. Its jealously guarded over here. They do run it. They have budgetary control and policy control. And this is the dream of the first minister, the nationalist leader, alex salmon. But on the other hand, there is a lot to be said for keeping the union together. Because on every level, it will weaken the Component Parts of the United Kingdom. Economically, certainly, economists have said that about scotland. But as regards the United States, its ally, Great Britain, will be different. Will be perhaps weakened. What will happen to britains nuclear deterrent, that keeps it in nato . All of these are massive, massive questions that the critics of the nationalist Independence Campaign say have not been properly answered. Not to mention, they dont have an answer to currency right now. Reading into it, it seems that theres some fundamental economic concerns on the part of the scots, they feel theyre giving more than they get. To turn it to selfish aims and means here, why should the u. S. Care what happens over there . The United States cares because a, there are a lot of americans of scottish descent, thats one personal care. But obviously the United States cares because Great Britain has been the u. S. Main ally, trusting, trustworthy, strong ally for decades and decades, there is something called that special relationship, its not an accident. Its not a romantic term of art. It is because on every issue, the United States stands shoulder to shoulder with Great Britain. And Great Britain for the u. S. Leads overseas and gathers, helps gather coalitions and all sorts of other historic bonds that tie the two together. Christiane amanpour, thank you so much, please keep us apprised of the progress on this vote. Well be watching. Always great to have you on new day. Now to her point, one of the places that the u. S. And britain are really tied to the hip is on isis. Right now congress is about to approve the president s plan to arm and train the Free Syrian Army. Theyre going to be the boots on the ground. Now, is that going to work . Is it a good idea . Youre going to get a unique perspective from the Free Syrian Army itself. Youre going to get to hear what one of their former commanders have to say about the state of the army, what they can do, and whether or not they need or even want american help. Taking a look at your headlines at 31 minutes past the hour. The house approving president obamas request to train and arm moderate Syrian Rebels in the fight against ice isis. Some republicans criticized the strategy for not going far enough, insisting that combat troops will be needed to defeat the terror organization. The senate is expected to pass the measure today. A senior Veterans Administration official admitted wednesday that delays in health care led to deaths of patients at the Va Medical Center in phoenix. This admission came after harsh questioning in a hearing before the House Veterans Affairs committee. This testimony is a reversal from an Agency Report released in august that said it found no link between patient deaths and delays in medical service. Cnn first reported that, dozens of veterans had died while waiting for appointments at that Va Medical Center. Florida state quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first half of saturdays game against clemson. It comes after he was caught repeatedly shouting an obscene sexual phrase on campus this week. Just the latest offthefield trouble for the heisman winner who is accused of Sexual Assault and theft in the last year. Winston has now apologized for the latest incident. Police releasing new Surveillance Video that they say shows university of virginia student hanna graham on the night she disappeared. I want you to take a look at this can you see her off in the distance. A man is following her in a separate video released, police say you can see the same man following her. Graham texted a friend she was lost after she left an offcampus party alone early saturday morning. She has not been heard from since. Vice President Joe Biden proving to be an equal opportunity offender in iowa. Presumably exploring a run for president , during a 24hour span, the Vice President offended jews by using the word shylock. And his use of the word orient to describe asia offended many asianamericans and others. The Vice President left the door open to u. S. Combat troops in iraq. A contradiction to the president s position. Oh, joe. In bidenland, we call that the trifecta. Just to give him a benefit of the doubt. Are we sure it was a shakespeare reference . In all seriousness, it was not a shakespeare reference, but the Antidefamation League came out to say he is a strong supporter of t supporter. His candor works for him more than against. He says how he feels, thats unusual for politicians. Very rare to see that, a teachable moment. I have them what, about every 17 seconds . 16. 5. Not giving him the benefit of the doubt, michaela. There can be more flooding were going to be looking at coming from the remnants, not just the hurricane, the recommend nanlts of what was hurricane odile. Meteorologist Indra Petersons is taking a look at that. Odile making its way up through lubbock, texas. This is the southwest, its dry. Only one inch of rain is all it took to see this flooding. The concern is still high today. Easy to see theres plenty more moisture still fueling the area. Were talking about anywhere of up to five to seven inches of rain. Especially out towards houston. Looking at the flooding concern and threat pushing farther east. If youre down to the southeast conditions are improving for you today as the stationary front made its way offshore.

The power of allegra relieves your toughest indoor and outdoor symptoms fast and stays strong for 24 hours. Stop suffering. Start living. Welcome back to new day. The Obama Administration insists no u. S. Boots will be on the ground in the fight against isis. Who is going to fight . Right now, the theory is, well get the armies of the arab world to contend with the terrorists. Not really happening, except this one group of rebel fighters in syria called the Free Syrian Army. Theyre already engaged in heavy battle against the assad regime and frankly, its not going that well. So yesterday the house voted to approve the plan, which they did, to arm and train this group. Or this group of groups, okay . So the decision is raising eyebrows because of what i just said. Instead of talking about them, we decided to talk to them so you can get a better understanding. We got an interview with a man named general salim idris, he was voted out of the chain of command of the Free Syrian Army for suggesting working with america against isis, okay . So use that as your starting point. Heres what he had to say about the state of the fsa and whether or not it is ready to beat back isis. As we speak, general, were getting reports in that isis has taken control of over a dozen new villages in eastern syria. Isnt this a sign that right now isis is just too powerful for the fsa . It is true that isis is controlling now the eastern region, which is the a large part of the suburbs and this is very dangerous. We think it is very important for us as fsa to get rid of isis, because they are working in cooperation with the regime. Do you think if the fsa is the main army to call it an army, going against isis, do you think isis can be beaten, if its just the fsa thats fighting against it on the ground . The fsa only, if it becomes t enough support, they can get rid of isis in syria i know it is very difficult, because isis is very well armed and they have many, many resources, financial resources. And weapons and they have a large number of fighters. But our experience with isis, told us that we can beat isis if we have sufficient military support. I dont understand where your confidence comes from, that the fsa wants to take on this fight, wants to go against isis, when they voted you out for pushing this new mission. Right . When you said you wanted to work with the u. S. And wanted to fight with the u. S. Not just assad, they wanted to vote you out. Why are you confident that the fsa will go against isis . I cant say for syrian revolution, it is very important and the main goal is to collapse the regime. But as we begun as syrians to fight against the regime, we came to the conclusion that we have to fight against other extremist groups like isis. And isis is trying to control the areas which we liberate so we cant continue fighting only against the regime. It is very important to fight against the regime and against isis. It is very dangerous and very difficult. At the same time to fight against the Syrian Regime and isis. But we have, we dont have other choice. We have to clean the country from isis. We have to keep them out, to get rid of them. And then we can continue fighting. That does not mean we have to stop fighting against the regime now. General, last question. In the United States right now, theres a great debate about whether or not u. S. Fighters must be on the ground to beat isis. Do you believe the United States needs to have its own fighters fighting in syria and iraq in order to beat isis . No, no, it is not important. We are, it is, it is very clear for us that our friends in the United States dont have to send or to send their fighters to fight on the ground. We just need the support. And if we can train them so quickly and join them to other welltrained and wellarmed fighters on the ground, and if we succeed to organize all of those, to work as regular army. Because our experience in the last three years, shows that it is meaningless to continue fighting as different groups. It is very important now to work according to central plan. Under a central command. And if we dont succeed to build this army, i think we can do some good efforts. But it will be not so very useful. It is safe to say that the generals confidence is high. But the competence of the fsa is low. Well it seems a little bit confusing. He says in the interview that right now theyre not an army. That he was voted out because he wanted to go about the strategy of taking on isis. When you look at the uneven nature of the numbers game that theyre playing, what did he say, 4,000 that they have, maybe . And multiples of that that we know that isis has in the country. That seems completely out of whack. And theyre getting whupped right now in their fight against assad. He also says it would take them two months to train up an extra 5,000, basically a doubling in the size of the army. Whats the bottom line . Is this the best force to fight against isis . Clearly not. Where is this coalition . Where are the better fighters . And whats the alternative is also the big question. As you said, they dont want any foreign fighters in there. We know what the alternative is, its the u. S. And thats why the debate. You heard it from a former commander of the fsa himself. Youll get to judge for yourself whats going on. Were going to be talking more about the nfl, because theres another player in trouble with the law. With three big stars already off the field, theres now a fourth. Arrested on Domestic Violence charges. This time, though, immediate action by the league deactivating the player by his team. The question is, can the league recover from this crisis . Good to have you back on new day. The nfl, another black eye to deal with this morning. Arizona cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer has been arrested on Domestic Violence charges, hes been deactivated by his team. His alleged victim, a 27yearold woman and an 18monthold child. He joins three other big stars banned from the field for offthefield violence. Here to discuss the widening crisis in the nfl and what can be done, keith reed, the former Senior Editor for espn magazine and george martin, former defensive end with the new york giants and former president of the nfl players association. And i love seeing you guys, but gosh youre here regularly. And houston, we have a problem, we have another story were dealing with. Is the nfl waking up in a panic this morning . Theyve been waking up in a panic for about the last week and a half. To have these kinds of allegations come out, not only just about first of all, lets express concern for the child and for the woman, who are alleged to have been abused in this incident. When you go further and look at what happened yesterday, this just capped off a terrible day, you saw sponsors come out. We were here a couple of days ago talking about how difficult it would be for Roger Goodell and for the nfl to come back from this, if sponsors started to be vocal. That happened yesterday. Theyre being vocal, theyre not pulling out. Theyre being vocal. Which seems a precursor to potentially making some decisions about their bottom line. Theyre sending messages to the team. Anheuser busch, their sponsorship is worth more than a billion dollars, thats a very difficult relationship to unravel. When youre paying that much money, youre going to come out and make it clear, we need to see some changes. Thats an overarching thing we have to consider. Were talking big business here, keep that in mind. Heres what i want to ask you, george is this one of those situations of when it rains, it pours . Or is is it that people are feeling more emboldened to come forward . Because we know that this case dates back a few months, the woman came forward now. Maybe emboldened because finally the nfl big wigs are taking this seriously . I think its more the former than the latter. Think when you look at it, this is the nfls version of the ebola virus, it seems to be spreading. So far theres no cure in sight. And i think theres a big concern. And like you just mentioned, now that the sponsors are standing up in arms and beginning to voice their displeasure, think that not only is Roger Goodell in a panic, i think there are 32 owners sitting on the sidelines saying what are we going to do about this. When you use the word panic, then youre making fearbased decisions. If you look at how the handling of all of this is going, not clearcut, not consistent. Its a really muddy response. Well i think for first of all, i would use a little bit different analogy than the ebola virus. Think this is more akin to the Church Sexual Abuse scandal, you saw some years ago. It started out very small, had you some allegations. The more and more, it was a deluge. All of a sudden they were everywhere and we found out how big this was. The Catholic Church did not handle it very well in the very beginning. It took a long time. And what you see scandals like these in large entrenched organizations that are very powerful. Often its the hubris that makes it hard for them to deal with the scandal. We saw yesterday, one of the vikings owners speaking out and say look we made a mistake by reinstating peterson. A lot of people uncomfortable with that word, mistake. Its being thrown around a lot. The fact is theres a lot of mistakes happening here. You heard Roger Goodell come out and say i made a mistake. The theme now is weve got it right. It seems theyve going to have a misstep initially and now they go back and backtrack and try to correct the wrongs they made. Heres the question youre dealing with the symptoms, but not dealing with the illness as a whole. If were going 0 go back to the ebola comparison. Were putting some bandaids on some situations. And you saw very pointedly that sheriff went in and took him off the practice squad yesterday. Were talking about dwyer. Very public you know, thing happening. But theres a greater issue about that were looking at here. What i worry about is the nfl has now become a proxy for abuse, child abuse, for Domestic Violence this is a societal problem. Im not saying it shouldnt be dealt with in the nfl. It should be dealt with in the nfl. It we have to have a bigger, broader, more honest conversation about Domestic Violence, where it happens, not just in nfl teams or professional sports, but everywhere. I dont think this will dissipate. The larger issue is what are we going to do on a proactive basis, an opposed to reactive. Because reactive is not getting it done. I love seeing you guys, but every time youre here were talking about this and were talking about another case. Ke keith george, thank you. And we should mention next hour were going to speak exclusively with Adrian Petersons close friend, former coach, want to know what he knows of this young man thats in the midst of this scandal thats brewing right now. Were certainly following a whole lot of news this morning. Lets get to it. The amendment is adopted. The president urging the senate to follow the houses lead. Im asking. Do it. This doesnt even seem serious. I will not commit you to fighting another ground war in iraq. The biggest antiterror raid ever in australian history. Those that think they may be operating in dark corners, we will hunt you down. Nypd stepped up security wednesday on mass transit. Isis will prioritize launching attacks against the United States. Potential for them to come back and try to commit terrorist acts here are very real. Scotland voting on independence. There shall be a Team Scotland to take this nation forward. Good morning, welcome to new day, we begin with breaking news, a shocking terror plot in australia stopped just in the nick of time. The question is something similar in the works here in the u. S. . Isis sympathizers in australia are accused of planning what they call a demonstration killing, sicko terminology for finding a random person in public and beheading them. This comes as president obama is trying to convince congress his plan to take on isis is the right way to go. The president s plan to arm and train rebels in syria got a green light from the house of representatives yesterday. Take a look at this 71 democrats from his own party turning against him. Refusing to back the measure. Some saying they dont trust the rebels and dont think the plan will work. Were following the Terror Threat and the terror fight around the world. Were going to begin with Senior International correspondent ivan watson. He has the latest on the terror raid in australia. Ivan, what do we know . Good morning, chris. Thats right. The australians calling this the biggest counterterrorism operation of their countrys history. Predawn raids, dozens of arrest warrants, more than 800 Police Officers and going after what they describe as a homegrown terrorist plot to carry out what the Prime Minister described as demonstration killings. Now the australian media has filled in some of the disturbing details of this alleged plot. Saying that there were plans to actually capture some innocent civilians and behead that person on camera, in public. And then drape the corpse, the body with the black flag of the isis militant group. Now the Australian Police say they foiled this plot. That they detained at least 15 people. One man has been formally charged with terroristrelated offense. No plea given by that suspect at this point. But basically, this is coming at a time where australia has been very quick to join president obamas International Coalition to combat the isis militant group. Australia has sent war planes, combat support planes, even advisers, military advisers to iraq to assist in this operation in iraq. And now the Australian Government warning that there could be dozens of australian citizens fighting alongside isis and other militant groups. And that theyve intercepted communications from isis members to sympathizers back in australia, to basically carry out these attacks. So the australians say they have ratcheted up the threat level to high. That is also another first in australian history. Chris . All right. Ivan, thank you very much. At least they were able to thwart it. The question is what happens Going Forward. Now whats Going Forward in the u. S. Is today the senate is expected to follow the houses lead and approve the president s plan to arm and train moderate Syrian Rebels. I say that slowly. It is a term that is confusing many people here as we get to cnns erin mcpike down in d. C. Moderate Syrian Rebels. Do they exist . Are they talking about the Free Syrian Army . We dont know at this point, do we, erin . Well chris, thats right. And to that end, the president met with 20 highlevel members of his National Security team yesterday and they refined the strategy to deal with the threat of foreign terrorists. And everything that goes with it as you mentioned. The house vote yesterday was a small, but symbolic victory for the white house. And the same outcome is expected later today in the senate. But still questions are piling up on both sides of the aisle showing growing doubt that this National Security strategy can even be effective. President obama commending members of congress. The amendment is adopted. For approving one piece of his strategy in the war against isis. I want to start off by saying thank you. To house members. Republican and democrat, who came together today to pass an important component on our strategy for dealing with this terrible terrorist organization known as isle. A rare show of bipartisan support in the house. Though 71 democrats broke ranks with the president. What in the world are we doing . Instead of rushing into yet another war, flooding the region with more weapons and intervening further in a civil war, congress should be pressing the pause button. Joining 85 republicans in rejecting the measure. I will not vote for something that i know will not work. Arming islamists to fight other islamists is not a winning strategy. The president urging the senate to follow the houses lead. No more war on the other site of the capitol, secretary of state john kerry facing a grilling, insisting the Syrian Rebels require american support in lieu of actual troops. Senator mccain knows that hes been screaming about it for some time. Weve all been screaming about it. Well thats weve all done nothing, or at least not much to talk about. With mounting doubt, that any mission against isis is even achievable without a dedicated ground presence, as the president promises. It seems to me the administration has placed many, many caveats on what we will not do. And our military leaders have urged you to put special forces on the ground. But no, were not going to do that. So this doesnt even seem serious. Just one day after joint chiefs chairman, general Martin Dempsey opened the door to a possible ground presence, president obama coming face to face with troops at Macdill Air Force base, doubled down on this promise to them in the fight against isis. The American Forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. They will support iraqi forces on the ground. As they fight for their own country against these terrorists. Now White House Press secretary josh earnest clarified dempseys remarks even further yesterday on air force one. Saying he meant officials in advisory roles might need to embed with rebels. But would not be personally or directly engaging the enemy. Each issue that gets raised is showing cracks in the team and bringing a barrage of additional questions that the administration is struggling to answer. Right, its also making it very clear, erin, that the congress is doing a lot of complaining and questioning. But not fulfilling their role of actually debating this issue and having a vote on the plan. This was just a little piece that they voted on. The question is why arent they doing more if theyre so concerned. Erin mcpike. Thank you. Senator Susan Collins, republican from maine. Sits on the intelligence committee. Thank you for coming in. Where are you on the syria vote that should be coming before the senate this afternoon . Well, first of all, i share the view that isis poses a tremendous threat. Not only to iraq and the region, but to western targets such as australia as weve seen this morning. And to americans both abroad and at home. But i have a number of concerns about the president s strategy. I dont know how were going to effectively vet the socalled moderate Syrian Opposition. We spend billions of dollars and a decade training the Iraqi Security forces. And look what happened when they were confronted with the isis threat . They basically cut and run with the exception of the Kurdish Forces in the north. So we need to make sure, especially since the experts tell us, that these forces are heavily infiltrated, that the training, equipping and arming does not end up in the hands of isis fighters. Have you gotten an answer yet, senator . I know you expressed these concerns to secretary kerry in a letter. Have you gotten any answers that would allay your concerns, put your concerns aside so you could vote . And how, will you vote, you havent yet said. Well let me say that the administration has reached out to me. The president called me, Samantha Power called me to discuss my concerns. And the answer i get is that the military has gotten better at doing the vetting. But one has only to look at the attacks, the insider attacks in afghanistan to continue to have a lot of concerns. Its very difficult, because as was said earlier, i think we should not be rushing to consideration of this issue. We should be staying in session and having a full debate, explore alternatives, make sure that the safeguards are there. Rather than having one series of votes today where we in the senate may not even have a separate vote on the syrian issue. Im also very concerned that we not aim our air strikes at the Syrian Regime and we keep our focus on isis. Have you gotten a clear answer on how the Administration Says in training and arming, the Syrian Rebels, how they will be able to then make sure that one, the weapons dont end up pointing back at the United States. And two, that the Syrian Rebels will change their focus to isis, rather than on the Syrian Regime. Have you gotten an answer to that . I have not gotten a satisfactory answer to either of those questions. And look, the moderate Syrian Opposition is much more likely to be focused against the assad regime than it is against the fight against isis. Is there an alternative in taking you said at the top you know and agree that isis needs to be eradicated, theyre such a huge threat is there an alternative you see to how to take on isis in syria . Let me make clear that i do support the air strikes in syria. And i do think we need boots on the ground. But not american boots on the ground. I think we should rely on the arab nations in the region to provide the Ground Troops. As well as the peshmerga from the kurdish part of iraq. And also once again try to rebuild the Iraqi Security forces. Look, im willing to give the president a certain amount of time to put his strategy into effect and then evaluate it. But this really is not the way we should be operating. This is a very serious conflict issue. And it deserves a debate on a new authorization for the use of military force. Because when were talking about going after targets in syria, particularly targets that affect the Syrian Regime, thats an act of war. We should not be rushing through such an important decision. Well in that issue came up very squarely in the hearing with secretary kerry yesterday. The secretary saying clearly with respect to asking congress, i am, do it. He said very clearly. And senator corker came back to say what youre asking doesnt even seem serious. Do you think that, that youve received any serious request from the administration to offer another authorization, a further authorization for use of military force . Do you think congress will actually in any reality, take it up . What im looking for is for both the president and the u. N. Representative to submit to us, is specifically language for the authorization for the use of military force that we could debate and then vote on. It sure doesnt seem like youre going to get it. No, and we should. We should do it before we go home. Why cant congress, why do you think congress should not be acting to offer an authorization for use of military force without that request . Well, generally its the administration, since the president s commanderinchief, that comes to congress with this request. But there are members of the senate, such as senator tim kaine, who have drafted their own authorization. We really should see what the administration wants very specifically, and theres no reason for us to adjourn tonight. We could stay in session, and have a full debate on this really important issue. I think that may happen in the lame duck session. After the election, but really, it should be happening right now. I know that a lot can happen in the hours before a vote. But real quick are you yes or no on the syria vote at this moment . Im going to vote for the continuing resolution, because i dont want government to shut down right now the senate isnt even scheduled to have a separate vote on the syrian resolution. And thats just plain wrong. Senator, great to have you, thank you so much. Thank you. A lot to debate on that issue, as you see from the senators concerns. At least shes asking for a debate. Most of them, including corker is saying, voicing concerns, they dont want to meet and debate, we know why, theyre afraid of the political fallout no time it play politics, the senator is the one making the right case. They need to talk to their leaders, michaela . Another big decision needing to be made today in scotland. Voters there heading to the polls today to answer yes or no to the referendum question should scotland be an independent nation . An incredible turnout is expected. Our Christiane Amanpour told us earlier. 80 is expected. We should know the results by friday morning.

The Company Announced wednesday that it will no longer unlock most iphones and ipads for Law Enforcement. Even with presented with a search warrant. Apples new ios 8 operating system has been designed to encrypt data, so not even apple can access it. Previous operating systems allowed apple to collect data from phones when police requested that information. Very interesting. Isnt that interesting . Very Interesting Development in that new operating system. I feel there will be maybe some pressure on the part of Law Enforcement to say wait, wait, hold on. You buy that it could be possible that they cant access their own information . Because of how its encrypted . No. I think somebody can always get access to it. Hackers have proven that. True.

Breaking news out of australia, authorities stopping a shocking plot, a random broad daylight beheading allegedly planned by isis sympathizers. They werent able to pull it off. This is exactly what new York Police Commissioner bill bratten called a new era of terror. His city on high alert after an online posting urged isis supporters to target times square. Meanwhile a new york man will be in a federal courtroom today accused of trying to recruit americans to the cause. How real is the risk of isis at home . A fundamental part of whats motivating this plan to fight isis. Lets get some perspective. Cnn National Security analyst and former bush Homeland Security and counterterrorism adviser fran townsend. The concern is obvious, if they can do it in australia, can they do it here in new york city . Is that what were seeing with the guy upstate in new york who theyre trying and the stuff online and the threats, how real . I think there are two different kinds of threats, that theres real concern about. One is the isis foreign fighters, those guys who are overseas, may try to get into the United States to try to launch an attack and then theres the homegrown jihadists. It seems, we believe, what australia is dealing with easier to detect that when its a group that comes together because they have to meet, they have to plan, they have to coordinate. All of those represent opportunities for Law Enforcement to discover them and disrupt the attack. Which is what the australians did. The hardest piece is the individual. Now weve seen arrests in denver and the one you mentioned, where individuals who are sort of vulnerable to the isis propaganda machine, a very sophisticated, very capable machine, putting out videos, not only of the beheadings, but sort of inspirational videos, trying to inspire people already inside the United States, who are vulnerable. To join their cause. We saw a woman in denver who was going to leave to go marry an isis member. So the desire for news urgency aside, nothing new in terms of the threat in the u. S. Isis is just more of the same, not something unique, fair . I think thats fair, commissioner bratton was responding to a website by a group of isis sympathizers threatening an attack on new york. Not surprising, not really new. You dont know how real it is, but its understandable that the commissioner in the nypd would react to it. I interviewed bratton not long ago and he said look, this is part of the job here in new york city and thats one of the reasons hes back, inspiring confidence and well see what happens Going Forward. Now the overall problem just bottomline me here, the house just voted, lets arm this Free Syrian Army. Do you believe that calling the Free Syrian Army an army is accurate . Well, its not clear that it is accurate. Because what you dont, to the extent you use the word army and youre thinking are they united. Brigades and platoons, under a single command and control element. There is a leadership between the Free Syrian Army, there is a leadership structure. You want to be sure that the United States and our allies are working now to confirm there is a unified military structure that can take instructions, be trained, act as a cohesive unit against the isis enemy. Do you have confidence that this is the best force you would want to put against isis . Well, you dont get to pick the best force youre going to put against. You get to pick from the team thats available on the field. But if you decide to fight, then you better be making the decision can you win, otherwise why are you fighting. Thats right, that means you have to properly resource, train and equip the forces, right . Part of the debate yesterday in congress and i think its a righteous question to ask if youre going to support these Free Syrian Army, the iraqi army, the peshmerga, Kurdish Forces, you have to put sufficient u. S. Military expertise on the ground to work with them. The to gather the intelligence, do the targeting and advise them on the execution against those targets. If youre not willing to do that, youre either in or youre not in. This is not a time for halfmeasures and putting peoples lives at risk. Not only our own, but those of our allies. You think you can train up 5,000 farmers in two months to take on ice snis . Thats what the former general is saying, we need two months, well be good to go. A doubling in size of the Free Syrian Army. A good deal of training has been going on. Its been sort of covert, handled in places like jordan. So were not, we should be clear, were not starting from a dead stop. The number is not now zero, right . What youre talking about is building on what is right now a quite modest force to your point. And you want to add on to that with really comprehensive training. But you also, you can train as many as you want. Unless youve got the intelligence to tell them, what where the targets are and how to execute it. Its no good. You need, you really need, its not just a matter of training as tough a task as that is. Its also a matter of having the necessary intelligence to then actually deploy them against final thing yes no me on this. From what you understand of the situation and what this will require, is this a situation that requires full debate of the congress that they should stay in session and vote on this as a declaration of war and get on the same page right away with all the different components . As opposed to just one step at a time . Well, the yes no part they need sufficient information to be able to vote. Whether or not that requires staying in, i mean i think you heard Susan Collins this morning say she needs more time. I really think its up to the senate to speak up and say we either have sufficient information take that vote. In which case they should do it. If they dont have sufficient information to be able to have that vote, they ought to stay in and debate it. Fran townsend thank you very much for helping us understand a decidedly complex situation. Another complex situation, although its pretty obvious to some, vikings superstar Adrian Peterson has always been considered one of the good guys in the nfl. Now thrown into doubt for an obvious reason his child abuse arrest and indictment. Was this behavior totally out of character . Were going to ask petersons close frebt and former childhood coach.

More adventures await in the sevenpassenger lexus gx. See your lexus dealer. Lets get to inside politics on new day with jon king. Jon . Good morning to you, a busy time here in washington. Its an election year, the president trying to get authorization from the congress to arm the Syrian Rebels. With me to share insight, margaret tell of Bloomberg News and cnns peter hanby. The senate will take up the plap, not a full war authorization. The president just needs the authority to arm the Syrian Rebels, the moderate opposition and to get the money. Has the defense department, look at the house vote. We expect the president to win, 85 democrats and 71 republicans voted no. Is this a reflection of broad doubts about the president s plan or safe politics . Its a mix. When you look at the block of democratic opposition. So many of these are of the antiwar democrats who either oppose the iraq war to begin with or would have opposed the iraq war if they would have been there or just thats the bloc. Jonathan wiseman has an interesting point in his piece today in the new york times, which is so Many Democrats and republicans in congress werent there theres been so much turnover since the iraq war. But those people, those democrats who were there, and voted for the iraq war are sort of once bitten, twice shy about the authorizations. And yes its narrow in scope. But i think their take is that look what the Bush Administration did what the authorization for military force in 2002, was to use it over and over again 0 justify military force. I think theyre a little bit wary that sort of a narrow vote can still be expanded into a bigger war. The president had the congressional picnic, he thanked the house for the voe. He said it was a rare moment when washington was coming together. Maybe they should do it more often. Have people get together and have a conversation. Its nice the president had the event. One of the reason some of the democrats were nervous is because of the controversy stirred up this week by general dempsey. The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. In my view he was being honest. He was asked questions about what if you need a plan b or plan c. Meaning if the Free Syrian Army isnt up to the fight. If the iraqi army isnt up to the fight and your goal is to destroy isis will american troops eventually perhaps have to be used . General dempsey said if it came to that, he would make that recommendation to the president. And the white house scrambled. The white house in Tampa Florida yesterday said no i will not commit you to a ground war in iraq and secretary kerry back before his old friends in congress. The president will not put american Ground Troops in iraq and the president made it clear again food in in a state he made at centcom, that america can make a decisive im quoting the president , we can make a decisive difference, but i want to be clear, the troops deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. Theyre arguing with themselves, except they shouldnt be. Is there anything wrong with what general dempsey said . He said if the president s goal is to destroy isis and if the first plan doesnt work, then what . Militarily, there is nothing at all wrong with what general dempsey said. But politically, its a bomb to drop right before the elections. Because its true. I dont think president obama wants to send combat troops back to iraq or anywhere near syria. But like what if he has to . It undercuts the original premise of obamas candidacy, which was to bring the troops home. Hes so against anything that even has a whiff of that. But he sent already like 1,000 advisers to iraq. Thats where the rub is the advisers are not on a combat mission until they are. The rub also is whats the message to isis. If youre convinced the u. S. Will never send Ground Troops, all you have to do is deal with the Free Syrian Army. Thats why the republicans dont want to say they want troops on the ground. But like marco rubio, like we just saw are not ruling it out. Strategically, they see its boneheaded. Listen to what obama said, he is saying i will not commit the people im sending right now to combat. Hes trying to draw the line, he could be leaving it for the next president. I will note that joe biden in iowa, the Vice President echoing general dempsey. He said it was a big if. He said if he concluded it was needed, he would request it from the president. Well determine it based on how the effort goes. The Vice President often accused of being on message. I think again hes telling the truth. I think and not running for president right now. May not be the best political thing to say, but theyre telling the truth. Lets get to one of the best races in kentucky. In kentucky, you have Mitch Mcconnell, the republican leader, he wants to be the majority leader if republicans have a good year, hes in a close race with allison grimes. Mitch mcconnell wants you to think im barack obama. Im not barack obama. I disagree with him on guns, coal and the epa. Allison grimes thinks shooting a gun will convince you shes not like barack obama. Im not barack obama. But grimes twice supported obamas platform for obama care. Now, if that wasnt fun enough, and this race is good, theyre having a good time fighting it out on television, grimes just this morning airing a new ad, remember, senior citizens, the most reliable voters in a Midterm Election year. Hitting republican leader, Mitch Mcconnell with the help of her grandmother. The last ten years, he couldnt speak or work. And they could barely afford the medicines. Our life became something else. No more vacations. No retirement. Just existing. This is why we have to strengthen medicare. Senator mcconnell has voted over and over again to raise seniors medicare costs. Ill never do that. So the obvious is that shes trying to get the elderly voters, which are the most reliable by playing medicare. She was on this issue earlier in the campaign. My question is, did they switch so fast because theyre at a point they were tracking every night in the campaign. You try a new ad, put 200,000 behind it. If you pull it back so quick or change the mix so quick, youre doing it based on what you see in the polling. Theres a limited amount of time, they dont think she can get him. At the course theyve been going. But also i think shes trying to get back on the offensive instead of the defensive. When youre doing ads saying im not barack obama, youre being defined by barack obama. When youre going after mcconnell and trying to depress his elderly base or increase your own, iyoure trying to increase your game. Medicare has come up increasingly and mcconnell has hit grimes on supporting obama care and using that sort of republican line that that cuts from medicare, which is probably misleading. But its a Midterm Election. And to your point, they need to get older voters, especially in place like kentucky. The the one seat where democrats think they can pick off a republican. Theyve got a couple other targets. But its the most fun. We often say that peter hanby has the best job at cnn. He comes in every now and then to talk to me in the mornings, otherwise hes out there getting to see america. Well give awe little tease before we go of what we call the hanbycast.

Adrian peterson, the star running back of the minnesota vike sgs in the middle of a firestorm right now, accused of abusing two of his children. Hes been banned from all Team Activities and hes been placed on an exempt list. It comes as nike joins petersons other sponsors in walking away, if only temporarily, from the football star. While the investigation continues. Steve oody, Adrian Petersons former coach and a close friend of peterson joins us exclusively this morning from baton rouge, louisiana. Good morning, mr. Oody. Good morning, michaela, how are you doing in. Im doing very well and im appreciative of you giving us a chance to understand the man that youve known. Youve known him an awfully long time. I understand you first met him when he was seven years old, is that true . Yes, maam. Tell me a little bit about the man you know. He came okay. I met him when he was seven years old. He came out to the Athletic Complex in palestine, texas where i was a coach and a board member of the Anderson County Football League and weve been good friends ever since. Whats your reaction to the suspension of this young man you know . Well, im not very happy, michaela, to be honest with you. I think hes getting a little injustice here. Well not trying to overshadow the injuries to the child or the seriousness of child abuse, im just here to tell american public, Adrian Peterson is not a child abuser. Hes very kind, he has a history of being kind and gentle to children. Being friendly towards everybody. Always very respectful, was taught to be respectful. And i just never seen him where he was angry or violent or anything like that off of the field. Were glad to get your perspective. But you can see how it doesnt align with what he stands accused. And the pictures that weve seen of the injuries to that child. As you mention. The injuries show that the skin was broken, there were raised welts. I understand that he says and in fact i want to read you a statement that adrian said, he said, i have to live with the fact that when i discipline my son the way i was disciplined as a child, i caused an injury that i never intended or thought would happen. He says he was raised this way. Is this how you know he was raised . Michaela, he was raised in a very strict environment. Very loving, caring environment. But one where you were taught right from wrong and adrian knows right from wrong. And i believe in his statement, thats ha hes saying, he understands the injuries to the child was not his intent. And that was wrong. And he has apologized for that. Do you think it got away from him in that moment . Help us understand that. Michaela, ive talked to i dont know, 50plus people, fathers in the last week and they all agree that occasionally, discipline gets away from you and you dont, you dont mean, your intention is not harm or abuse. You are disciplining your child the way that you know how. And youre disciplining that child out of love. But sometimes stuff like that occurs. Ive spoken with both of my sons in the last week. And they both reminded me of times that maybe i went a little overboard. So maybe therein lies the problem about using physical, you know, thats what people that are against Corporal Punishment will say. Therein lies the problem of using physical smack, a spanking, a whupping, a switch, as a form of discipline, right . Okay. Michaela. I agree 100 with you, and i believe in adrians statement. He has said he has since gone to counseling and be shown alternate alternatives. But my question is, is this a question about Corporal Punishment and how to discipline a child . And thats why were suspended from the nfl . I mean, surely you can understand theres a little bit of difference in punishment to a child, or discipline to a child, and beating somebody up or shooting somebody at a nightclub. Or those sort of things. So i just dont, my personal opinion and what im having a hard time getting my head around is i just dont understand how all this is put together. And i dont understand how adrians track record of kindness to people in general, ive never known the kid to be in a fight. So to all of a sudden have him put together with some people that have done some other stuff, i just dont understand it, to be honest with you. And youre talking about the fact that he has he has been sort of grouped in with these other troubled nfl players who are stand accused of Domestic Violence. You really take umbrage with that. You dont like the fact, you see that his case is a different case than ray rice and hardy and these other players that are accused of Domestic Violence. Michaela, i dont know ray, i dont know greg. And im sure their cases are need to be looked at on an individual basis, also. What im saying is adrian was disciplining his child, in my opinion, thats a difference than physically whipping a woman or a child or a man or elderly person. Going overboard on discipline is not the same thing as hitting somebody with your fist and knocking them down. Tell me more about. Im a simple american, but thats pretty plain. I want you to go back to the young man you know, to the player you knew as a child, you knew him as a young man, you knew his father very well. How is he dealing with all of this now . I know you havent had a chance to speak with him. You spoke to his manager last night. Do we know how hes doing . Adrian, adrians going to be fine. Adrian is struggling with this. The worst thing that you could do to adrian is take away his ability to play. Adrian loves to play. I can sit here and tell stories, until noon, of him playing, sneaking onto the field where there was little league, high school. People having to hide his helmet. Adrian loves to play. Hes a big kid at heart. And so to take that away from him, is is tragic. Its its going to be tough. But he, adrian will be okay. And you do recognize that they, you know, they have to investigate, they have to let the investigation run its course. And then we will see what happens. There is still, we dont know what this will all, what will all end up here. I want to say thank you, steve, for giving us insight into the man you know. For defending your friend and for talking to us here on new day. Okay, thank you very much. You take care. We know today is an historic day in the United Kingdom, voting is taking place now. The polls are open. The question is, will scotland leave britain and form its own country . What would the end result look like . Well be watching. [announcer] play closegood and close.

Voters are coming out by the millions today to decide whether scotland should declare independence from the United Kingdom and if the yes vote succeeds, things could get a little messy. Oil currency, the queen nonetheless, even the flag could be literally and figuratively up in the air. Who else needs to be taking this on other than john berman . Aka braveheart. Exactly. Exactly. You can take our lives, but you cannot take our freedom. Except, well maybe for 307 years or so. Look, this is so complicated, this is not some conscious uncoupling between Gwyneth Paltrow and that guy from coldplay. They were together for ten years. These people have been together for 307 years and now theyre thinking about a great breakup . Ugly. Look at this. If we learned one thing from braveheart its that they may take our lives, but theyll never take our Freedom Reporter because if they do take it, mel gibson might have added, we will probably vote to get it back in 307 years or so. This may be a classic relationship struggle over who wears the kilt in this family, but if there is a breakup, it could be the messiest divorce ever. What do you do with the flag . The blue part of the union jack is st. Andrews cross, thats scotland. What do you do with the pound snt uk says they keep that. The oil well thats in scotland so you know who wants that. The bombs . They seemed important in the queen. You can bet the uk wants the arsenal that resides in scotland and what do you do with wales . That stays in the uk but maybe scotland can visit wednesday nights and every other weekend. As confusing as the arguments over this stuff might be, the logic behind the arguments might be even more so. Both sides of this argument have valid points, the highland tradition and those who enjoy cruel worms beneath british boots. Reporter those freedom loving heirs of the highland tradition says while they absolutely positively want their independence, they absolutely positively want to keep the queen. Because nothing, i mean nothing says freedom like a monarchy. And nothing says independence like the United States of america, which is why Hillary Clinton told the bbc i would hate to have you lose scotland. Reporter because what does the United States really know about splitting from the uk . That never works. In closing, no matter what happens to the flag, the bound, the nukes or the oil, no matter what happens in the actual vote, scotland will always be part of Great Britain. It will never be part of england, the irish part of neither. Nosh island will still be part of the United Kingdom which no longer may not be as united but elizabeth will be queen of all of it, so keep calm and carry on. She does not know what shes the monarch of anymore. I feel bad for wales because i still dont know what that is. At least you know how to spell it. I do, too. Kids as young as 16 can vote in this referendum. What 1yearold do you know would say hey do you want to be independent . What 16 years old says no . 90 voter rental straggistra. 80 turnout. They may lose the head off the elf riding the pig. Is that it . I never understood, hes trying to make some kind of reference, none of it makes sense. I like a nice kilt joke. Thank you very much. There we go. Not complete until we make john berman blush. At his own jokes which is a beautiful thing. Something else that almost you have to laugh at it is whats going on with the plan for isis, the house approves the president s plan to go after isis by arming Syrian Rebels. Which ones . We dont know yet. Dozens of members of his own party are throwing on the brakes. Will the president s plan get quashed in the senate . Well talk live to a key member of the president s National Security team. Whos going to make it happen . Discover a new energy source. Turn ocean waves into power. Design cars that capture their emissions. Build bridges that fix themselves. Get more clean water to everyone. Whos going to take the leap . Whos going to write the code . Whos going to do it . Engineers. Thats who. Thats what i want to do. Be an engineer. Join the scientists and engineers of exxonmobil in inspiring americas future engineers. Energy lives here. And for many, its a struggle to keep your a1c down. So imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar . Imagine, loving your numbers. Introducing oncedaily invokana®. Its the first of a new kind of prescription medicine thats used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Invokana® is a oncedaily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. Heres how the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. Invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in, and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. And while its not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. Invokana® can cause important side effects, including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. This may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. Other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. Do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. Symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. Using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. Its time. Lower your blood sugar with invokana®. Imagine loving your numbers. Ask your doctor about invokana®.

Isis sympathizers allegedly planning to kidnap and about he head a random member of the public as the white house battles criticism from within their own party that the plan to take on isis wont work. Out of bounds, another star Football Player arrested for Domestic Violence. We have new details on what hes alleged to have done and how the league is handling this growing problem. Chilling new details into the life of a cop killer on the run in pennsylvania. Police say he would role play as a cold war era soldier and now taking on the role for real. The concern is, will he strike again . Your new day continues right now. Captions by vitac www. Vitac. Com announcer this is new day with chris cuomo, kate bolduan and michaela pereira. Welcome everyone, to new day, its thursday, september 18th, 8 00 in the east. Supporters of isis planned to behead a random person in public as some sort of demonstration killing. It is a gruesome reminder of just how far isis and its sympathizers are willing to go. So that takes us to the question of what are you going to do about them . In washington the house approves president obamas plan to arm and train moderate rebels to fight isis in syria. Take a look at the vote. 85 democrats, obviously the president s own party turned and voted no, more than the republicans, who voted no, so why . They say they dont trust the rebels. We dont know who the moderates are and therefore this plan may not work. Were going to talk live to a key member of the president s National Security team in just a moment. Stick with us for that, but first lets get to our Senior International correspondent ivan watson is whats going on in australia. Reporter raids by Australian Police in the biggest city in australia, sydney, before dawn and theyve been destroyed by the Australian Police as the biggest counterterror operation in australian history. There were dozens of arrest warrants, more than 800 Police Officers involved and rounded up 18 suspects they say were plotting to basically attack some innocent civilian, australian media have gone one step further that the plot was to cut the head off to behead the victim, film the act and then drape the body with that black flag of the isis militant group. Now, of the people who were detained, one has been charged with already with terrorism charges, and hes been denied bail. Nine of the other suspects have been released thus far, two of these 15 suspects, chris, were women, and well probably learn more about this alleged plot in the days ahead. The australian Prime Minister has warned that he thinks there are about 60 Australian Nationals who are fighting alongside isis and other militant groups in the middle east. The australians are worried that these australian jay hadis could come back home and commit acts of terrorism. Theyve intercepted communications from a senior Australian National in isis to supporters back in australia, urging them to carry out what he described as demonstration killings. The australians have been quick to join president obamas campaign against isis. They say theyll send war planes, fighter jets and advisers to iraq as well. Chris . They, too, are yielding on the issue of boots on the ground for now. Ivan, thank you very much for laying out the evolving nature of the threat. Question again is, what will you do about it . Today the senate is expected to follow the houses lead and approve training and weapons for Syrian Rebels to use obviously in the fight against isis but some arent convinced that arming rebels is a good idea. Lets understand why it should be a good idea from one of the people putting together the plan for the white house, mr. Tony blinkin, deputy National Security adviser for the Obama Administration. Tony their for taking the opportunity. Thanks, chris. So make the case. Why is arming the Free Syrian Army to the extent it is an army the best way to fight isis . Chris, you need some force on the ground to be able to take t the territory that xwets freed up through the use of air power over time. We can put air power with the coalition and set isil back. In order to take some of the ground thats been liberated you need a force on the ground, it has to be the syrians feiging for their own country. Thats the best way to do t the most effective way to do it, the most Sustainable Way to do it. Is it true that this particular group thats being called an army really isnt, its somewhat in a shambles, getting beaten up by assad, doesnt really want to fight against isis and it basically means youre starting at ground zero training up a force . Chris, weve been working with many of the opposition groups for the last two and a half years. We have much better knowledge of who they are, what theyre willing to do. These are people who want to fight. They want to fight for their families. They want to fight for their communities. They want to fight for their towns but they need help. They need to be trained, they need to be equipped and they need support from us and other countries. If they have that, we believe that they will fight. We have a problem with defining the they, right, tony . Senator collins and a lot of other politicians and you guys are discussing it in house, who are the moderates . How do you arm the right people . How do you wind up not having weapons you give them in the training turned and used against you . These are critical questions. One of the things weve done over the last two and a half years is go up the Knowledge Base, build up the relationships. With the saudis and other countries in the region coming in, joining in the training, they, too, have tremendous knowledge, they know who these people are, they can help identify them, they can help vet them. We can make sure the right people are getting the training and the right people are getting the weapons. Susan collins doesnt pick up the same confidence youre showing now in the administrations ability to vet the moderates and make sure youre giving it to the right people. Is that a communication gap or does she have it wrong . Look, its very understandable that people are skeptical about this. The president was reticent initially some years ago when it was proposed that we get in whole hog and do this. We wanted to make sure that we built up an understanding of who we were dealing with. Now, two and a half years later we have a much greater understanding, but weve also been very clear with congress, this is not a silver bullet. Its an essential part of what needs to happen but its not a magic solution. Its going to take time. Its going to take effort, but we believe that with the right support, these are motivated people who want to fight for their towns, they want to fight for their families. How do we avoid, how does the u. S. Avoid getting sucked into fighting this fight when the rest of the region doesnt step up, because right now youre not seeing the big players with the big armies stepping up. Chris, a couple of things. First, we have more than 40 countries who said they want to be part of this coalition. Across all, effort in the air, working to support to train and equip, dealing with the financing, dealing with the flow of foreign fighters et cetera. Its a process. Countries say theyre signing up and then we develop the requirements for what the Campaign Needs to look like and over time we match these countries to different requirements and different tasks. If you look at the first gulf war thats exactly what happened when the first president bush and his administration did a great job building a coalition but it took weeks and in some cases months move countries from joining the coalition to actually taking specific responsibilities. Tony, it also took a really sizeable u. S. Force to go in there and clean house in the first gulf war. Yes. That was the stying factor, you had the best fighting men and women in the world wearing u. S. Uniforms on the ground doing what needed to be done. Now you know the polls show that people dont want that, you guys are playing to the polls, so everybody down there in d. C. , so how do you avoid the situation as happened in the past . Chris, were not playing the polls. Were playing to the experience of the last decade. We found it was not the most effective way to go to send in hundreds of thousands of american Ground Troops get them bogged down in a decade and try to deal with the problem that way. What is more effective making sure local people are fighting for their own countries. If they take the responsibility to do that, to help them, to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment, to give them the air power, to give them the advisers, thats what we can do, thats how we can be most effective. Youll get a big amen on that from the American People but the problem is its not happening. The saudis have a big fighting force, they should be worried about isis. Theyre saying well help train but not going to fight. The turks have a lot of people taken hostage by isis. They are in direct line of threat. What is going on here . Why arent they fighting their own fight . Chris, lets take this one step at a time. First look what happened in iraq. Using air power in coordination with iraqi forces and the kudish Peshmerga Forces weve turned back isil in a number of places and it changed the dynamic on the grouped. Thats proven to be effective. We have a lot of work to do to rebuild up the Iraqi Security forces to get them coordinated. We have a new government and partner in place to do that. In syria its tougher an longer and takes time to build the opposition but we believe it can be done. These countries youll see the secretary of state is going to be hosting a big meeting of the Coalition Partners over the coming weeks you see not only the countries signing on but taking on specific responsibilities including using their air power. The idea of how this will happen Going Forward, its going to take a long time. Its pretty arguable that congress should get involved and be giving an approval of power. That frustrates things because of the dynamic in d. C. But it seems to fit squarely in their responsibility especially because, tony, and heres the question, right now one of the big criticisms you didnt leave a force in eyeing rah, you didnt leave a force in afghanistan the way you needed to. Are you rethinking that now as policy . Will you keep advisers on the ground in these hot areas for the foreseeable future . Chris, first if it you go back and look at what happened in iraq, the Bush Administration signed an agreement to get our forces out in 2012 at the very beginning of 2012 than hafs the deal with the iraqis. We said wed like to leave some folks behind to help you on counterterrorism. They would not stand up in their parliament and say we want the americans to stay. It was all about the politics. At that point after ten years they didnt want americans. As soon as our forces came out in early 2012 we began to try and work with the iraqis to build back up their counterterrorism capability. We offered them advisers, we offered them military assistance. At first they didnt want it. 2013, isil rears its head, all of a sudden they want it. For the last year or more weve been working to rebuild that iraqi capacity. Unfortunately, the isil problem outran what we were able to do. Now the new iraqi government, remodeling the army with a partner there and with our commitment we believe we can get ahead of this, so the answer is not to repeat the last decade. It is not to send 150,000 american troops. It is not to spend trillions of dollars. It is to empower local forces to fight for their own countries. We believe that well have partners to do. That hethats the key, we h see the partners step up. Tony thanks for taking on the questions and appreciate the opportunity. Look forward to seeing you again. Another big story were wtching, if you thought it could not get worse for the nfl, unfortunately it seems it has, another star player, arrested on Domestic Violence charges. Police showing up, you see there, at an Arizona Cardinals practice escorting running back Jonathan Dwyer off the field. All of this happening just after the Minnesota Vikings banned Adrian Peterson from all Team Activities until his child abuse case is decided. Also banned the Carolina Panthers star lineman greg hardy who is appealing a Domestic Violence conviction for his part. Nischelle turner is here with all of the very latest. Its like you have to take a breath after saying all of that. There was a lot of them. Its a laundry list. Greg hardy said he was going to take this time to focus on his family. Adrian peterson essentially saying the same thing. Both men say they are eager to get back on the field apparently, so is ray rice, hence his appeal, but now another player arrested for Domestic Violence and this time taken off the field immediately. Its dwyer, hes in. Reporter this morning, Jonathan Dwyer, a running back for the Arizona Cardinals, now in custody. Reporter are you sorry this happened . Reporter the football star is the sixth envelope nfl player making headlines for alleged abuse in the past now few days. Dwyer arrested at the cardinals Training Facility yesterday and making his First Court Appearance overnight. This all stemming from a slew of alleged abuse beginning in late july, including one count of aggravated assault against a 27yearold female, causing a fracture, and another involving his 18monthold child. He has been interviewed by our detectives. He has admitted involvement in the incidents. However, has denied allegations of physical assault. Reporter police say during one incident, he threw a shoe at the 18monthold, then tossed the cell phone of the female victim out a window, preventing her from calling police. The cardinals say they have taken the immediate step to deactivate jonathan from all Team Activities. Jonathan dwyer who had the touchdown. Reporter half a dozen nfl players across the country are now facing Domestic Violence charges. Theres no rule book for this guys. Reporter wednesday Carolina Panthers defensive end greg hardy took a voluntary paid leave of absence after being convicted for Domestic Violence. In may, Authorities Say hardy choked his then girlfriend, dragged her by her hair into a tub and threatened to kill her. The panthers star has asked for a new trial. We made a mistake, and we needed to get this right. Reporter the Minnesota Vikings deactivating running back Adrian Peterson facing a child abuse charge, retracting from an earlier decision to keep him in the game after sponsors voiced their outrange. Many of petersons teammates say he should stay on the field. Growing up, that was nothing, man. My mom, she always whipped me up or and things like that, man. Its just, you know, in my culture thats how i was raised and thats how my mom she raised her kids. Like i said, look at me now. Im in the nfl. This seems to be the argument we have continuously heard from a number of players about the Adrian Peterson case. We did hear from some of his teammates yesterday who either were hesitant to talk or did back adrian fully. I asked some former and current players, why it was so hard for people to take a stand, people in the nfl. They said its a hard thing to talk about and no one wants to look like theyre turning on their teammate. It does put them maybe in an uncomfortable position. Yes. This is an uncomfortable issue. Every press conference, every interview about this that weve seen and done has just been awkward, no one wants to tackle this subject although its a subject that needs to be tackled. The nfl needs to get it right how theyre handling all of this. Right and the one fair defense of the nfl is its a little odd to be starting to look at this situation as like the flashpoint of Domestic Violence and the flashpoint of how our culture of how we raise kids. You know, the nfl is not the focus of the problem. This is society. We havent talked a bit about the season on the field. They hate this. Nothing. Is this the place to fight the fight is the nfl . Agreed but this is the nfls fault. They needed to get their policy right. It sometimes gives us the platform to talk about bigger social issues. We need to talk about it clearly. Should we look at headlines and well talk about that. Please. History being made in scotland right now, millions of voters going to the polls to decide whether their nation should break off from the United Kingdom after 307 years. Polls show that the contest is just too close to call at this point. The future of scotlands oil, their currency, their flag and their relations with the u. S. All of that hangs in the balance. We should know the results friday morning. Ebola patients in west africa apparently buying blood from people who have survived the virus. The World Health Organization reports there is an illegal trade in the blood thought to have antibodies to fight the disease. An american doctor is being treated in a nebraska hospital with blood donated from dr. Kent brantly who recovered from the virus last month. More than 2,400 people have died in the ebola outbreak. A doctor known for her celebrity patients was reportedly with joan rivers when the comedian went into cardiac arrest. The daily mail reports the doctor did not have privileges to be in the room where rivers was being examined.

The suspect is still considered armed and dangerous. Reporter new details are emerging as the manhunt continues for eric matthew frein, the suspected cop killer on the run in rural pennsylvania. Police are painting a picture of frein as a selftrained survivalist who harbor ace longstanding hatred towards Law Enforcement. Authorities say frein belongs to a military Simulation Group where members assume the role of cold war era soldiers from Eastern European countries. In his current frame of mind, frein appears to have assumed that role in real life. Reporter investigators say frein on the run since friday night recently changed his hairstyle in preparation for the shootings of Corporal Bryon Dickson and trooper alex douglass. He now wears it shaved on both sides and long on top, wider than a mohawk. In the event you are listening to this broadcast on a portable radio while cowherring in a cool, damp hiding place. I want you to know one thing, eric, we are coming for you. Reporter hundreds of officers joined the search. Freins family told investigators two guns are missing from the home, including an ak47. We have a suspect in this case who is antigovernment. He is a hunter. He is a woodsman, and he is alleged to be a survivalist. That is a deadly cocktail. Reporter local schools are closed and freins face is on flyers all over town as a community lives in fear. Especially closing the store, i make sure that i have my weapon with me. Now im a little more i have it on a little more often. People are uneasy. They want to know are my kids going to be safe. Reporter hearts are heavy in this community this morning.

Kate . Important to honor that officer, but also then the town still living in fear of what exactly is going on, where that man is lurking, that suspect is. Rosa flores in pennsylvania for us, thank you so much. All right, so whats happening in the plan to fight isis . The house voted. They voted to approve the president s plan. Now it comes to the senate. The plan is arm and train moderate Syrian Rebels. Lot of lawmakers, however, believe that could be a slippery slope. Do they have a point . Experts weigh in for you ahead. There it is. This is where i met your grandpa. Right under this tree. man some things are Worth Holding onto. Theyre hugging the tree. man thats why we got a subaru. Or was it that tree . man introducing the allnew subaru outback. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. But ive managed. E Crohns Disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb.

That is one front of the fight against isis, the other of course in iraq and president obama continues to emphasize the limits of u. S. Actions there. As your commander in chief i will not commit you an the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. So is the administrations plan going to be effective to defeat isis and should the u. S. Be trying to take on the terror group at all, as many are beginning to question. Joining me now to discuss kirk lippell, who was the Commanding Officer of the uss cole when it was bombed by al qaeda terrorists back in 2000 and also joining us this morning, hillary levrett author of going to tehran why america must accept the Islamic Republic of iran. Good morning to both of but good morning. We just had the president s deputy National Security adviser on tony blinken. On the issue of syria, since that is the focus of today with the senate expected to vote he said the government over the past couple years has built up a Knowledge Base so they believe they can better vet these rebels, they know what theyre tapable of, how they will fight and what they can do. This moderate opposition in syria. There is a lot of skepticism on capitol hill. We heard that from senator Susan Collins today. Do you think that the moderate opposition can be trusted . Right now unless we know specifically who they are and in fact, have intelligence with people on the ground who are with them, working with them and feeding back into our intelligence apparatus, i would be very apprehensive, because we need to look at the second and third order impacts of arming them. When we arm the Syrian Rebels even if they are moderates if if we believe the weapons would only be used against isis and not the Assad Government i think were deluding ourselves. Hillary, what then . Well, i agree, in fact, its the socalled moderate Syrian Oppositionists who reportedly kidnapped Steve Sotloff and sold him to isis to be beheaded. They have entered into a nonaggression pact with isis to fight against the Assad Government. Weve gone down this disastrous road before when weve armed, trained and funded sunni militants in afghanistan, in libya, in iraq itself, 80,000 there. We know how this story ends. Every single time those american weapons, those trained soldiers, trained by the United States come back to attack us. We know how this ends. We really need to now get out of the way. We need to recast our policy in the middle east, and take a step back. We put 125,000 troops into iraq, eight years of time. But hillary if you dont take on isis in syria, why even take on isis at all in iraq . We shouldnt. This is a scorpion. We either need to get out of the way for this scorpion or we step on it to our peril as were hearing about today in australia, a purported plot by isis sympathizers. There are americans who are in ice ice, lots of europeans and there are thousands of saudis and other arabs and muslims in is isis. This is a problem in the middle east particularly in the sunni muslim world and right now their target is mecca and medina to take over the sunni muslim world and establish a caliphate there. If we bomb them and continue to bomb them, their target will be here as was al qaeda, their target will be new york, but right now its not. We can prevent another 9 11, if we had a better policy but instead of stepping back and admitting the problems in our own previous policies, were doubling down on those very same problems, and creating conditions for yet another 9 11. I need to step in. Go ahead i want to get your response. I think at this point a policy of disengagement with the belief that if we do not get involved over there is somehow going to preserve american lives because they wont attack us is not based on any degree of fact. They already kidnapped americans. That means theyre already harming americans. The fact that they stepped it up for strategic purposes to behead them, to recruit clearly indicates that there will be no end to this. We need to do exactly what she said, and that is step on the scorpion. If were going to get engaged, we need to be able to use every instrument of National Power at the president s disposal. When the president says i am not going to commit Ground Troops, if, in fact, isis is an existential threat to the United States, if in fact we believe that we are at war with them, then the president must be willing to commit and that means Ground Troops, if necessary. Otherwise, our allies in the region are already hesitating, because they know we are not full in. If its a threat to americans, its a threat to americans hold on hillary, go ahead. If its a threat to americans we have to assess that threat, determine if that threat is going to come here even before the beheading of the two journalists happened, then we need to go after them. Go ahead hillary. To not do that is trouble. The facts are from president obama saying that isis was the jv team of terrorism to our own cia to our own center for counterterrorism, the facts are right now isis does not have the United States as a target. What were doing, though, puts us in their target range. We could get out of their way or we can make ourselves a target. We put hundreds of thousands of troops into the middle east, 1 trillion and eight years of neverending war. President owe pa ma had a chance to recalibrate, to restore our relationship with the muslim world. Thats what he came in, when he said he was elected. Right now but instead of restoring our relations with the muslim world he doubled down on the policies of the prior administration, continued having large troop presence there, and antagonizing the muslim world. Libya, the disaster in libya was wholly created and opened another battlefield for these islamist militants. Lets talk about where we are right now. Lets talk about where we are right now. Theres no indication that the white house is going to be pulling back further from the strategy that the president laid out in his address to the nation. Theres no indication hes committed to the strategy either. Theres a tremendous amount of let me actually i want you to get in on that hillary but i want to direct that question to you as well commander. It sounds you have very little confidence in the rebels in syria in the moderate opposition but then what is the alternative, because as you said, you need to go into syria if youre at all going to tackle and defeat isis. I think one specific area we have not addressed and we have to look at is what are the Funding Sources for isis. How are they getting the money . Are they getting it through the sale of elicit oil going throughout the region . We need to look at what is funding them, how are they being funded, what are the financial backing. If we can get to the sources, that requires a robust intelligence response, you cut them off financially, you go to the governments where we have traced it back to, providing support or turning a blind eye to their people supporting, saudi arabia, for example, then we put the squeeze on them. If its a threat to the region, those other countries should recognize that threat and do what is necessary. Thats one aspect that hasnt even been addressed yet. But by the same token i still believe every instrument of National Power needs to be addressed. I think the American People at this point are realizing that we have a somewhat disjointed response to this threat that is coming to the United States. And it seems and if we dont begin to address it we are going to be in trouble because they will come here. You have kidnapped americans and to somehow believe that just because we have people over there theyre harming americans already. It seems hillary the disjointed response you may agree on but for very different reasons. Go ahead. The point about the financing, thats something that weve heard about every one of these aspects in the socalled war on terror. The real problem that we ignore to our peril is what is happening among sunni and muslim populations who are becoming even more alienated and even more resentful to the United States as the cia has put out, they have now dramatically revised their estimates of the number of warriors fighting for isis, not because theyre being paid. Thats because they believe in it, they want to join this fight. Weve gone from an estimate of 5,000 fighters to now over 30,000 fighters, that surge in recruitment is because they see it now as a u. S. War against islam, because the United States has increased this bombing and has put, has declared itself to recommit to a neverending war against islam. That is surging recruitment, so instead of now having a couple hundred people that they could tap into to get a suicide bomber to get on the next plane to new york, they now have about 50,000. Thats a serious threat. Thats a threat to the United States. That is a scary thought. That is one point though, that the president s deputy National Security adviser was definitely trying to hammer home in his interview with chris earlier, there are more than 40 countries that want to take part in this coalition and theyre going to be rolling out i think thats where a big question has been. Theyre going to be rolling out what their roles are, what theyre going to be doing, what they feel comfortable contributing, thats the part where i think theres a lot of question, what their buyin actually is. Commander kirk lipold, hillary mann lippert, thank you very much. Another nfl star player arrested for Domestic Violence.

Arizona cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer the latest football star taken off the field after a Domestic Violence charge. This time with dwyer he was booked on charges of aggravated assault and preventing someone from calling 911. What is going on with the nfl . Are they really the center of societys problem with Domestic Violence and what were doing with our kids . Lets bring in fran tarkington, a name you know, hall of fame quarterback played for the vikings, 13 seasons including being on the first team at the club, hes also the founder of gosmallbiz. Com. Pleasure to have you on mr. Tarkinton. Thank you very much, chris, good to be with you. Unfortunate to discuss the vikings in this context but as someone who built the ball clubs reputation how do you feel it is handling this situation . I think theyre doing very well. When youve got leaders in the wilf brothers that own the vikings, theyre great citizens, doing a great job with our team and when this happened with Adrian Peterson they got it right the first time and didnt let him play last week, then they went back and said well were going to let him play this week and let the legal system play its way out. The response for that was pretty horrific. I responded and said i was embarrassed that they made this decision. This is really tough stuff, important stuff. If we cannot protect our children and protect our women, what kind of a country are we . And the nfl is the face right now of america. Its out there, were watching nfl football thursday night, saturday friday, sunday nights, monday nights, and its, everybody wants to watch professional football by the tens of millions, and this is a platform for the wils and the other owners and a platform for Roger Goodell to get this right and make sure we show the women of america and the children that we have their back and i think whats been done by the wilfs is really good. They went back and forth, right . That wasnt the best kind of leadership. Do you think the team and of course the league, the league really is about the owners, do you think the owners of the vikings should come out and say here is our policy. If you get jammed up or arrested for hurting anyone, let alone a woman, a Domestic Violence situation, including kids, you are off the team. Well pay you, but youre off the team until the situation resolves. Should they just come out and say it . I think they will. I this i that you will find Roger Goodell come out with some tough, tough words and penalties to handle this type of behavior. Its unacceptable. It should be zero tolerance, and i think thats understood now by the owners and understood by the league. We need Roger Goodell and his leadership to come out and be very strong on that. This Jonathan Dwyer thing that just came up that hes now been accused of this kind of abusing women, Domestic Violence, and immediately the arizona team have suspended him. Thats exactly what they should do, and because if you take these people off the field and in some cases take their paycheck away, youll get their attention, but were going to get the attention from the rest of the country because this is a very visible organization, the nfl. Why hasnt the league come out and said heres the policy. Forget about six games. Until its resolved, if you get arrested for this type of crime, youre out until then. The Players Union will push back and theyll say hold on, you cant take away their money, what if its resolved in their favor . You just keep paying them. Money is not a problem for the league. Not a problem at all, and youve got a good point there, and i think that you will see i very much expect something to come out of Roger Goodells office on this type of punishment. It came out the first time, the twogame suspension and he said i was wrong. Isnt it nice that we hear a leader say i was wrong and he came back and he increased it, and to six games and the second time that this happens its permanent dismissal. I think hell come back with very, very strong actions against this type of behavior, and other types of negative behavior that could go on with nfl players. Fran its good to hear a leader admit when theyre wrong and its better for them to get it right. Your connection to the team is still strong. Adrian peterson, many are just getting introduced to him if theyre not a fan of the nfl and even if they are theyre getting introduced to him as a person. What do you know about him as a person . Everything i hear is great. Hes probably the greatest r running back weve seen since jimmy brown. People like him and respect him and i think its hard on minnesotans, hard on the football team. This needs to be looked at. Hes been charged with abuse of a 4yearold child of his. I think he had an issue with another young child of his a year before that we never heard about, and i think its got to be vetted out, and i think theyre doing the right thing, theyre paying Adrian Peterson, theyre taking him away from the team so he can deal with his own legal problems and lets see where it goes. Fran tarkenton, it was amazing watching you play, youre a legend in this sport and its important to have your voice on this. Thank you for being on new day. Thank you very much.
