Transcripts For CNNW New Day 20141118

Slaughter of innocent people while theyre praying in a synagogue. If the world doesnt unite against terrorism and give zero excuse for terrorism, this will haunt the world. A spokes map for hamas praising what happened as justifiable revenge for the death of a palestinian bus driver found hanged in his bus. But palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas condemned the attack. As did israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu saying israel will respond with a heavy hand, his office posting on his twitter account. The attack the latest amid tensions in the city with a wave of kidnappings and killings in recent weeks. We have at spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu. Thank you for joining us. Do you see a cause for larger responsibility in these attacks, beyond just the crazed men who entered . Most definitely. I mean you put your finger right on the important point here. The islamic extremists murdering with brutality across the region, whether its isis cutting off heads in iraq and syria. Whether its happening in libya and yemen. That, we understand they are the enemy of us all. But the Palestinian Authority, the government, the official government of the palestinians, is part of this. That they are also encouraging a culture of violence and hate, praising terror attacks on innocent civilians, they must be held accountable for that, as i heard secretary of state kerry say this morning when he called upon the Palestinian Leadership to unekwifly condemn this sort of brutality. Theres in question this attack in a place of worship will be condemned. We hear the condemnation from palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. The israeli Prime Minister did not seem to buy into that regret on the part of the Palestinian Leader. Why . Ill tell you what the problem is, a few days ago we have the palestinian president and his government calling for days of rage and violence. The palestinians president himself writing letters to wouldbe killers praising their actions. Its a problem. And even this morning, after the terrible atrocity we saw in the synagogue, the spokesman of president abbass political party, the fatah movement, he justifies this attack. If you dont mind me saying, its like in the old hollywood westerns, its speaking with a forked tongue. We need Palestinian Leadership, those who claim to be moderate, those who claim to be mainstream politicians, they have to unequivocally condemn with no ifs or buts, they have to condemn this sort of brutality. As people condemn islamic brutality. Theres no justification for this sort of violence, and it should be sed publicly. Its a pity that the Palestinian Leadership up until now wont step up to the plate and offer a serious condemnation. Has israel lost confidence in Mahmoud Abbas and will you look to him in any future peace negotiations . Well deal with the Palestinian Government in try to move this process forward. The question is are they a partner . They have to make a decision. We look forward to working with them in peace and reconciliation. But if they are refusing to dissociate themselves with this sort of brutality. If they maintain a Political Partnership with hamas, that praised this mornings attack. If their own spokesman are unfortunately justifying this attack theres a line in the sand in the middle east. And on one side youve got isis, hamas, al qaeda, people responsible for the most brutal attacks, the most heinous atrocities against innocent civilians. On the other side youve got israel and egypt and jordan and other moderate countries. President abbas and the Palestinian Authority must decide which side of the divide hes on. Because he cant have it both ways. We want to see him as a peace partner. But we have to see him get off the fence and choose the path of peace and reconciliation. What does with a heavy hand mean in terms of israels dealing with the situation . Well obviously to maintain peace and security in jerusalem will be beefing up the police and security presence in the capital. And make sure that there are no it sounded like counterattacks, thats what it sounded like. Weve got to prevent copycat. When you have an atrocity like this, you can unfortunately give the motivation to other likeminded people. So we have to make sure there are no copycat attacks and we want to make sure theres no hothead on the israeli side who decides he wants to take the law into his own hands and conduct a vigilante counterattack. The first thing is to beef up the police presence. And the other thing is to ultimately try to deal with these terrorist groups though are responsible nor sort of violence. You know, its not just jerusalem thats suffering from this extremism, islamic extremism. We see it across the region. Theres a regional problem, theres no quick fix. But we will defeat and prevail over this sort of islamist terrorism. Will there be targeted assaults and action towards the groups you think responsible . I am not going to talk about specific steps we will take. Other than to say we will do what needs to be done to protect our citizens. We cant allow the recurrence of this sort of atrocity against innocent civilians. We will do what needs to be done to protect our people and to return safety and peace and quiet to jerusalem. Which all of jerusalems inhabitants deserve. Both israeli and palestinian. Ultimately we want to see peace and quiet in this city. We know the islamist extremists are opposed to that they want to see violence and we want to see the Palestinian Government, Mahmoud Abbas as a partner. The politics loom large and obviously thoughts and prayers of those who lost their lives and the injuried and their families this morning. Thank you very much. Another story developing othernight, president obama has ordered a toptobottom review of the policy regarding american hostages. Specifically, how the victims families are kept informed and how the government can secure their releases. It comes days after another isis video showing the severed head of an american aid worker, peter kassig. At least one other american, a woman, remains in captivity. Cps joe johns is live for us at the white house, good morning, joe. Good morning, alisyn, a comprehensive review of these policies was very much required, because there have been reports of families caught in the middle between their concerns for their loved ones being held hostage in the middle east, and the things that the government was doing. Specifically, the no ransom policy that the United States continues to push forward. Congressman Duncan Hunter of california wrote letters to the administration to get some clarity. Hes been pushing for better coordination between the federal bureau of investigation and the department of defense and other components of the government in trying to handle these hostages. The National Security council did finally release a statement confirming that a toptobottom review is now under way to look at all of these policies. And also saying the government cannot detail all the things it does to try to help get hostages released. So no clear timetable on when the administration will be able to say if its going to change its policies, nonetheless there are some families of hostages, who are very concerned about how the government handles this situation. Alisyn . Well be analyzing this with our analysts coming up. Joe, thanks so much. Theres more news to talk, about lets get over to michaela for headlines. Heres a look at your headlines, we begin with missouri, missouri governor jay nixon declaring a state of emergency ahead of a grand jury decision in the Michael Brown case. Hes calling in the National Guard, he says just in case violence flares once again in ferguson. A grand jury decision could come at any time, whether or not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown. The fbi is warning state and local Law Enforcement across the nation to remain vigilant. A virginia woman has been charged with lying to the feds about trying to connect a contact of hers with isis. Heather kaufman caught the eye of authorities after praising the terrorists on her facebook page. The 29yearold was arrested when she promised to link up an undercover fbi agent with the group in syria. Later she told officials she hadnt done so. Charges could be upgraded. The senate appears to be poised to approve the controversial Keystone Pipeline project today. The house approved the legislation last week. Now louisiana senator Mary Landrieu says the bill has enough support to pass. Democrats have been pushing the bill since the election, when landrieu landed in a runoff for her seat. President obama has expressed skepticism about the project, which still faces several legal hurdles. Shocking testimony from convicted 9 11 terrorist Mir Hossein Mousavi Zacharias Moussaoui. Moussaoui makes charges in letters filed with a federal court from his prison cell in colorado. Those are your headlines, guys. It is not a question of if, it is only a question of when you will feel the cold. Make sure your homes are ready for freezing temperatures and so are you. Theyre expected in just about every state so lets get to meteorologist indra petersons, we have cast her out into the cold in central park with only a sweater and we have done this because she said she was excited about winter and now she will feel the pain. She looks excited. This is is me acclimating. I cant go full Blizzard Gear this early in the season. Ky not. Its not even officially winter yet. But it kind of feels that way, right . Were talking about temperatures in the 30s. Wind gusts in central park, about 29 miles per hour. We throw in the wind chill. Currently its about 21 degrees, thats what it feels like. But heres the thing, in the entire u. S. Today, all 50 states, somewhere currently below freezing. Another frigid night for millions as britter cold arctic air grips nearly the entire country. Temperatures shattering records across the midwest with some parts in the single digits, in northern texas monday, temperatures dropped to 9 degrees, the lowest on that date since 1959. A nationwide deep freeze has 50 of the u. S. Now covered with snow. Crippling some parts of the midwest. In cincinnati, parents and volunteers of a High School Football team were shoveling 400 tons of the white stof off their turf. It will be an ice pack, if we dont get it off today. Theyre probably not going to be able to practice on the turf all week. In louisville, kentucky, almost 2,000 tons of salt covered the streets after their first major snowfall dropped nearly five inches, closing area schools on monday. My employer is were on a threehour delay. Adding to the misery . Up north, lakeeffect snow is now pummelling michigan and new york state through thursday, some parts will see more than two feet. So many places in the northeast yesterday actually saw record rainfall, central park saw an inch and a half. That system made its way out. Its the cold air diving behind it is the big story. We could see a foot of snow, lakeeffect snow around the great lakes, the bigger thing . This wind chill, many places in the upper midwest are expecting to break records this morning. With record low temperatures, the cold air is expected to last. Highs today hovering around the freezing mark here in the northeast. Temperatures are expected to still get cooler as we go through the day. As the cold air continues to rush in. So what is the big question . Is the cold air going to last . Right now were stuck in something that looks like an omega block. All it means to you wave after wave is cold air is expected. Another one for the end of the week and possibly a frigid one for the beginning of next week. Were bracing ourselves, guys. Make it stop omega block. Fy only had the power. I thought those were the good fatty acids. Indra thanks so much. Three american hostages have been murdered by isis. At least one american something held and now the president asking for a review of how hostage situations are handled. Should the u. S. Do Something Different to save these prisoners . And state of emergency declared in ferguson. Now this is a procedure, it releases resources to help authorities prepare for the worst. But it is seen by some as a provocative act. And an intention of police violence. Ferguson is divided and we will hear from both perspectives on this. [ narrator ] mama sherman and the legion of super fans. Wow [ narrator ] on a mission to get richard to his campbells chunky soup. Its new chunky beerncheese with beef and bacon soup. I love it. And mama loves you. And mama loves you. I found a better deal on prescriptions. We found lower copays. And a free wellness visit. New plan. Same doctor. Im happy. Its medicare open enrollment. Have you compared plans yet . Its easy at medicare. Gov. Or you can call 1800medicare. Medicare open enrollment. Youll never know unless you go. I did it. You can too. President obama wants a full review of how the u. S. Conducts hostage negotiations, following the deaths of three americans at the hands of isis. Some in the victims family says the u. S. Government actually impede their efforts to get their loved ones back home. Lets talk more with john avalon, a cnn political analyst and editor in chief of the daily beast and margaret hoover, a cnn political analyst and republican consultant. Its obvious that the parents of whose children were killed by isis, the families believe they were trying on their own to get their children back. Who knows if it would have worked . It seems as though it wouldnt have. But the government wouldnt let them negotiate or give money. Of courses u. S. Has its reinforce not allowing that. Heres what the first hostage was killed by isis, james foleys parents had to say about the governments help. Listen to this. I really feel that our country let jim down. And in what way . Well anderson, i we met wonderful people within our government. Good people who cared, who wanted to help. But the reality of the bureaucracy and really was such that we were not helped. We really werent. Margaret, is it time for a review . This is tragic. As a parent, it breaks your heart. I dont know that ordering a bureaucratic review of how you negotiate with terrorists would have saved the sons of these journalists. And i also think that when youre dealing with negotiating with terrorists youre dealing with a tactic in a larger war. And i think theres a fundamental call to examine the strategy why is isis continuing to take american reporters . What is continuing to happen . How can we end that . I think theres a Strategic Review thats necessary. We need to frankly eliminate this enemy. But i dont know that a tactical review in that particular instance would have changed the larger, broader war. This is an acknowledgement by the administration that their increased incidents of kidnapping and too many problems that are alienating these families. Interagency infighting and frustrated by legal threats against them if they want to pay ransom, in the millions of dollars. The u. S. Government threatened prosecution against the families. The families were threatened with prosecution if they tried to take matters in their own hands and pay money. You cant have it be lucrative for isis to take hostages. But the families want to do whatever they can. I would take the other side of that i dont think there are two clear sides of it. One of them is a hyperemotional side. Which you would expect from every family. However, this is an unemotional situation tactically. It just is theres nothing you can do to negotiate with isis thats going to make them give people back, unless they are afraid of the consequences of taking people. Thats true, chris. But you know, if theres a, if the bureaucracy is compounding the families pain. If theres this kind of interagency turf battles and its not a coordinated response, things can be improved so the families dont feel like theyre getting the backend of the mission. We saw this in north korea, also. Kenneth baes family and in mexico, where consistently families dealing with the state department feel as if their family members are pawns and not being treated with the respect they should. And that theyre being cut out. The family members feel like theyre not getting information, theyre being cut out. Its a powerless feeling. Thats something the administration is right to examine. You can stick to a strategy or tactic of not negotiating with terrorists, but have the families feel like the government is working with them. Whether its special opps or another group. The only way to eliminate the threat is to eliminate isis. Theres a another larger Strategic Review thats necessary and a frankly refocusing on eliminating the ultimate enemy. Lets turn to another problem we cant fix, which is the state of play, great story thissoutlet known as the daily beast broke, i dont know if youve ever heard of them, john, but the idea is this that the republicans were using twitter to kind of double up on political messaging and somewhat circumvent the law, or maybe not. What do you make of the situation. John, you broke it. This is a great scoop by chris moody at cnn. Chris moodys story is great and its harrowing because it illustrates the way that theres abuse of Citizens United, collusion between campaign Citizens United is the Supreme Court case that ruled you cant limit outside funds in political campaigns. This naive idea. This shows there is collusion, theyre trying in this case, organizations trying to use twitter to sort of share information. Its damning. The question is will the laws be enforced actively. Margaret, youre the perfect person to talk to. You ran an independent expenditure committee, which somehow deals with all of this issue. I ran a soourp pac, thats what american crossroads is a superpac. There are thousands of superpacs that play in every election and the line is very clear. If youre working with a superpac, youre running independent expenditure ads, you cannot coordinate with any campaign committee. You cant talk to them. What ends up happening, is because you cant coordinate on strategy, you, people end up, the Obama Superpac did this, the mitt Romney Superpac did this, you get information from private polling and issue a press release. What happened here they were seussing subterfuge on twitter with coded messages. Blatantly illegal. That is coordinating in the light of day. What happened when Cnns Chris Moody contacted them for comment . They took the twitter handles down. Thats so damning. The National Republican congressional committee. Immediately after chris moody calls, immediately those twitter handles disappear. That shows a degree of collusion. That panicked response is in many ways the most damning about the report. They were putting this internal polling up on twitter so the Campaign Group could see it without getting their hands dirty with colluding. You issue a press release and its almost like they were whispering to each other in the light of day, hoping no one else would notice and they got, they may have gotten caught. This is all alleged, but if the allegations are true, theres no question, this is blatantly illegal. You cannot coordinate. Whats the enforcement mechanism . Its been lax. Theres a money go round of consultants cashing in every election cycle. Consultants on how to best use what is gray in the law to your advantage in campaigns. A whole cottage industry. And not all people who do superpacs feel the way they you do, margaret. The law is clear, you cant coordinate. That would have been coordination. What it means is tricky. Anthony kennedy the Supreme Court often doesnt spell out. This has been enforced by regulations and by regulators at the federal election commission. Or not as we just saw. Thanks for helping us understand it. John, margaret great to see you. Ferguson, were focused on it, whats going to happen, frustration and anger is building up in the suburbs, not just ferguson, but all around st. Louis and across the country. Most recently the governor in missouri declared state of emergency. That releases funds for them to prepare for whats going on when the grand jury brings down its decision in the Michael Brown shooting what will this mean to the people there . Is this a good sign or a bad sign. And wedding bells for a notorious mass murderer.

Missouris governor declaring a precautionary state of emergency as the city and the country waits to find out if the grand jury will indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown. The National Guard is at the ready and the fbi is warning of a chance for violence. Lets bring in cnns Stephanie Elam this morning. The news that Governor Nixon has declared a state of emergency, shows were one step closer to getting the ruling on the fate of Darren Wilson. Protesters in st. Louis braved frigid temperatures, take together streets ahead of missouris governor declaring a state of emergency. Governor jay nixon anticipating expanded unrest, if the grand jury decides not to indict Ferguson Police officer Darren Wilson. Who shot and killed unarmed teen, Michael Brown, on august 9th. Governor nixon activating the National Guard to assist the county police with securing ferguson, bypassing the Ferguson Police department. The mayor of ferguson agreed with the decision. We dont know whats going to happen or what the decision is going to be or what the reaction is going to be. Think we need to make sure that were prepared. Michael browns parents have asked that everybody who supports them do so in a nonviolent, peaceful constructive way. More than three months now, this entire area has been on edge. Are you worried about violence becoming an issue again . Im not really by civilians or by police . Whatever concerns you. I mean the biggest concern is that something very small will happen. Like a water bottle and that will lead to teargas or gunfire. Last week a Law Enforcement source says the fbi issued a bulletin to Police Across the nation, warning officers to be vigilant about possible violence related to ferguson. Over the past few months, Community Lead verse complained that outsiders have instigated much of the violence. So when the grand jury comes out with its decision, with a do you think is going to happen . I honestly cant say. I can just speak about what were going to continue to do as protesters until we get what we deserve, which is justice. And the National Guard is expected to arrive here in the st. Louis area at some point this week. And as far as them taking over control of security. This would only happen if escalations and tensions and violence were to get out of control. But for now the city of ferguson is in control and the county of st. Louis is in control of their police departments. Alisyn . Stephanie elam, thanks so much. As shes showing, the weather could be an issue here. As the reality when she asked, do you expect it to be violence, the kid on the street said by who, the cops or by the protesters . Thats the two minds that are ruling in ferguson right now. Lets get perspective. Chris king is the editorial director for the st. Louis american and cincinnati chief of police, jeffrey blackwell. Cincinnati dealt with a similar situation if 2001 and hopefully it was a learning moment that those lessons will be put in place now. Mr. King, let me start with you, whats the perception in community about what state of emergency means . Well its an unfortunately an alarming term and a lot of the protesters do feel like it was a proactive strike in a kind of car. I dont think thats really the right way to look at it. It enables the governor to start the callup process for National Guardsmen. National guardsmen will never take over the protest. The, your reporter was a little bit off on that and also the city of ferguson is not in control of the city of ferguson, st. Louis county is. St. Louis county police and city police and missouri Highway Patrol form a unified command this is nonstarter for the community. The protesters should relax and continue protesting peacefully. Thats always the hope. But you know what it is, its about optics, chief, right . The optics. If you were to not call up these types of resources and have them on hand, would that be irresponsible . Do you believe that these tactics are something that helps make the situation more controllable, more safe . Well i think you have to do it youre right, it is the optics and police are unfortunately in this scenario, in somewhat of a nowin situation. But it would be irresponsible to not be prepared to deal with the worst and hope for the best. But you also have the issue, chief, of what happened the last time. The cops in ferguson, surrounding st. Louis communities or whatever, a combination, they didnt seem ready to handle the situation and they did seem a little hairtrigger. They did seem a little hyperaggressive, what do you think you learned in 2001 in cincinnati that needs to be communicated . What are the lessons . I think the big lesson is you dont wait for a crisis moment to try to leverage a relationship that may or may not be built. You work on those sustained engaged, transparent relationships yearround. And then you build up what i term as relationship collateral. People have to know in your community that your relationship with them is authentic. And the only way you do that is youre out there with them on a daily basis, trying to talk and figure out if everything in fact is okay. Chief, that makes perfect sense. But its also really frightening. Because chris, it seems like thats exactly what you dont have in ferguson right now. The police and authorities have been slow to make inroads, because they want to see how this settles first, but the chief is saying thats what you need to prevent the worst. Whats your take . Well, captain ron johnson has done a lot of hard work, meeting with protesters, they rebuff him a lot because he was in command on some of the worst nights of teargassing, thats a fact. Chief dobson in the city of st. Louis has also met with Peaceful Protesters. And said to him, if you want peace, we want peace, if outside agitators come in to disrupt the peace, work with us in turning them in its difficult to get protest horse are protesting the police to cooperate with the police. But that might heavy defuse the situation if outside elements that truly the governor is afraid of outsiders, so is the unified command. If the Peaceful Protesters are local are the only people we see in the coming weeks, there wont be a national story. Chris, you clued us in to the outside agitators first time around. Because of your reporting and that of others, the police wound up making key arrests of yous siders and that helped calm the situation down. In the communities are they discussing what to do do prevent violence and make the protests the most product i have been thing they can . Are they planning . Absolutely. Think theres been a lot of productive planning within protest movement. They brought in outside consultants and peaceful protests and the king center from atlanta came up. The unified command authorities realized that they dont have an angry mob on their hands in the Peaceful Protesters. They have actually factually Peaceful Protesters. There are some elements they need to guard against and i believe the guards are up. The hope for the media in a situation like this for all the cynicism aside is youre there to have eyes on the ground and it keeps everybody a little bit more aware of their behavior. But that then gets to you what the moment is going to be. The moment is going to be, when word of an indictment or no indictment comes down. Were hearing that may be released on a weekend. We dont know if theyre going to bring the family in first. In terms of timing and tactics, how should this decision be brought out . Well, we in cincinnati and in other places, you know the major city chiefs, we talk about this, weve talked about this for the last three months. And certainly what affects us anywhere, affects us everywhere. So we are a little nervous in my city. And im sure other chiefs are as well so we dont have the sympathetic reaction by our community. So for that weve been out in front of this and engaged in dialogue. And engaged with key people in our community, to try to figure out where we are. And if were going to be okay, once this verdict is released. Chris, do you think its the right move to release it on a weekend . Do you think the brown family should be brought in first before its announced and allow them to use whatever leadership and authority they have with the community . To say what they hope happens, regardless of the outcome . Well i think you need to talk about the reality of the county prosecutor, robert mccullough, hes not good with victim services, hes been very poor with this particular family. Hes not going to bring them in in a productive way. But he is talking to Police Authorities and im talking to the same Police Authorities, they do want it on a weekend. The School Districts want it on a weekend. I wouldnt be surprised if we saw it this sunday. Because the kids arent if school and are insulated from anything that happens. Thats the main thinking, chris, quickly . Yes, definitely. Chris king, chief blackwell, thank you very much for your perspective. Hopefully preparation is the big headline here and that the protests come, no matter what the outcome is and theres something positive that comes out of this. Because certainly the Community Need it. The 20th hijacker, zacharias mouse wii said saudi royals helped finance the 9 11 attacks, even teaching him how to fly planes, thats not all hes saying. rob kolar ; so weve had a tempurpedic for awhile, but now that we have the adjustable base, its even better. evie abat ; i go up.

Did i mention his neck pillow . sniffs pillow watch your personal dvr library where ever you go. With the x1 entertainment operating system. They will call him the 20th hijacker, now from his prison cell in colorado, convicted 9 11 terrorist Zacharias Moussaoui is making claims that could be critical in a longrunning civil case that implu indicates saudi arabia for the 9 11 attacks. Lets get more from deb feyerick. From his cell in a maximum security prison in colorado, terrorist Zacharias Moussaoui is making new allegations and reviving old accusations against a handful of saudi royals. Accusations that over the last decade have been discredited. In a letter, the 46yearold frenchman claims Saudi Embassy officials were involved in a plot to shoot down air force one to assassinate bill clinton and hillary clinton. He said he discussed the plot several months ago with a secret service agent. Cnn has reached out to the agency for confirmation. This is a new plot that i think moussaoui is making headlines with and hes certainly got everyones attention. Its unclear how serious this plot was. Theres the lingering question of saudi arabia. Moussaoui is reviving old claims he made a dozen years ago, that a specific saudi prince and princess and others were involved in financing 9 11. I think there was a significant effort in the immediate aftermath of 9 11 to work with the saudis, to curb their terror finance problem. I think it was widely recognized that it was a problem. In his letter, moussaoui claims the same time he was taking flying lessons in norman, oklahoma, he met the prince and princess, who gave me money. Unquote. With other funds directed to the other 9 11 hijackers. The saudi government is being sued by some 9 11 familiar list. Stress that the 9 11 commission in 2004 found no evidence that the saudi government as an institution or senior saudi officials individually funded either al qaeda or the hijackers. Zacharias moussaoui is often depicted as the missing 20th hijacker. But shortly after a jury sentenced him to life in prison in 2006 Osama Bin Laden denied he was part of plot and portrayed him as a paranoid d schizophrenic. Casting doubt on his claims. Delving into this further is tom fuentes. Lets start with moussaouis claim that a saudi prince and princess helped finance 9 11 by help paying for the flight lessons that the hijackers took. What do you make of this . As mentioned, moussaoui has been widely questioned as to his mental stability and what he knew and didnt know and how he knew it however, there are hundreds of saudi princes, princesses, cousins, members of the royal family. So its possible that members of the family did supply the money or provide funding for the 9 11 operation. But that doesnt mean the government itself knew about it or wanted it to happen. Theres also a new claim that he makes, which is that air force one, there was a saudi plot to shoot down air force one and to assassinate bill and hillary clinton. Is there any evidence of that . I dont know of any evidence of that. Im not sure that that ever is true or not. So you know the 9 11 Commission Found that in 2004, they said they found no evidence of moussaouis claims and they couldnt determine that the saudis had financed or funded 9 11. What do you think of the commissions findings . Is it possible they missed it . It is possible. Its difficult to establish exactly where the funding came. The saudi government does provide through a program it has, to provide money for schools around the world. Especially to appease the wahabi sect, a fundamentalist secret i saudi arabia. So to appease them, starting in 1991, many institutions teach hate of the west and hate of the infidels, so in a warks the saudi government does provide funding to schools that are antiwestern. It doesnt mean theyre directly funding terrorism. Because if they did, terrorism might be directed directly at them. Lets not forget that 15 of the 19 hijackers were saudis. But what do you think that Zacharias Moussaouis motive is right now . It could be attention, it could be anything. I dont know his mental situation since hes been in prison all this time. So good question. His courtappointed lawyers said that they believe that he was a paranoid schizophrenic. Right. So its hard to know whether we should dismiss this out of hand, because hes mentally unstable. Or if he has some real nuggets here that should be explored. Well it could be both. Part of the difficulty is and part of the court wrangling thats gone on since 9 11, is that the saudi government is trying to use the foreign sovereign immunities act. Which prevents foreign governments from being dragged into u. S. Court proceedings and the u. S. Government has tried to back the saudi government in that effort. Because the u. S. And western governments need the cooperation of saudi arabia and particularly their intelligence service, the partner of the fbi in saudi arabia, to cooperate. And weve seen many cases where the mubaheth have discorrupted terror plots, such as the printer cartridge plot. Where they tried to ship a printer to a Jewish Community center in chicago. The Saudi Intelligence Service directly interrupted that plot and that printer was discovered in london as a result of their cooperation. That one was a good sign of cooperation. Well tom fuentes thanks so much for your expertise, always great to talk to you. Were following a lot of news this morning, so lets get to it. What you saw today is slaughter of innocent people. We confirmed four israelis have been killed in this terrorist attack. This has no place in human behavior. Overnight, protesters in st. Louis taking to the streets amid a state of emergency. The entire region is gripped by fear. Its like theyre preparing for war. Our beloved son, Abdul Rachman, no longer walks this earth. Our hearts are battered, but they will mend. The world is broken, but it will be healed in the end. Good morning, everyone, welcome back to new day, im Alisyn Camerota alongside chris cuomo. We could be on the verge of another major conflict in the middle east. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu is vowing to respond with a heavy hand to a deadly attack on jerusalem synagogue, four israelis killed and six others wounded. Two palestinians broke into the synagogue with axes, knives and a handgun. They were shot dead by police, but not before victimizing worshippers, the atrocity is being condemned around the world with the visible exception of hamas. Cnns ben wedeman is live for us in jerusalem. Hamas has put out a statement, they say supporting the operation, not claiming responsibility. They have course call these operations, these attacks, but theres no indication at this point, however, that hamas is involved in this attack which left four israelis dead this morning at about 7 00 local time. Were being told by israeli officials, it seems it may be another one of these lone wolf attacks, attacks undertaken by residents of predominantly palestinian East Jerusalem. In this case, two cousins in their 20s, one of them worked not far from the synagogue, who were behind this attack. And of course, this is really just the latest in a long series of incidents in jerusalem. Going back to essentially june. When we saw clashes in the wake of the killing of those three israeli teenagers in the west bank and the kidnapping and murder of a palestinian teenager. So these tensions have been going on constantly since then. But certainly this is the worst attack in jerusalem since 2008. Chris . Ben thank you very much. Alisyn, over to you. Lets turn to peter binhart, a cnn political commentator and a senior columnist at haaretz, is this the first time or is this significant that they went into a synagogue during morning prayers, does that how ratchet up the violence and pressure . Sadly this is not the first time that theres been terrorism against israelis in places of worship. There was a terrible attack many years ago during a passover seder. And the fact that this happened during morning prayers will be extraordinarily painful for jews, who have a sense of memory of being denied the right to worship. Were dangerously moving close to a third intifada that could spin out of control. Theres attack and retaliation, with sort of no way out, you say . There was on sunday, a palestinian bus driver who was found hanged. The israelis said it was a suicide. But many palestinians seem to believe he had been killed. Were now in a series of Palestinian Terrorist attacks now over the past few weeks. Its important to remember that the last intifada, the second intifada started over jerusalem in 2000. Historically jerusalem has been the place where the violence tends to cycle out of control. Let me play for you what secretary kerry said about the brutality of this attack today. Listen to this. People who would come to worship god in the sanctuary of the synagogue were hatcheted and hacked and murdered in that holy place. In an act of pure terror and senseless brutality. And murder. So now what does the u. S. Do about this. Its a very difficult situation. Israel will take retaliatory measures and its quite possible those measures will produce more hostility on the palestinian side. I think the deeper problem is, theres no horizon for peace on either side. There are no negotiations, theres absolutely no trust whatsoever right now between Benjamin Netenyahu on one side and Mahmoud Abbas. Let alone hamas which has praised these attacks and in that kind of environment where theres a sense of hopelessness and rage on both sides, its extremely difficult to curtail these kinds of cycles of violence from going out of control. Heres what Benjamin Netenyahu put out via twitter about this attack. He says this is the direct result of incitement being led by hamas and abu mazen, he means Mahmoud Abbas, incitement which the International Community is irresponsibly ignoring, we will respond to the heavy hand to the brutal murder of jew who is came to pray and were met by murderers, this terrorist attack in a house of worship is the direct result of president abbass campaign of incitement. We will respond with a heavy hand. Thats ominous, what does that look like . Already there was a move into the East Jerusalem neighborhood where the palestinians were from. Historically israel has taken measures like demolishing the homes of Palestinian Terrorists. I dont know how much larger the efforts will be. But given how many terrorist attacks there have been, i think its unlikely you will see israel responding proactively throughout the west bank and jerusalem in a way that many palestinians will feel is oppressive to them and again we could still be in the cycle again and again. Heres what the Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas, has to say. The palestinian presidency has always condemned the killing of civilians on either side. And condemns today the killing of worshippers at a synagogue in west jerusalem. Hes saying the right things. I dont, think Mahmoud Abbas is perfect. Over the past few weeks hes made a couple of statements about defending the temple mount that could be seen as supporting violence. But i think israel has to have perspective here. Mahmoud abbas is praised by israeli leaders as someone who does support a twostate solution that accepts israels right to exist. The alternative to this is jihad. If someone wants to tear down Mahmoud Abbas, it wont end with Palestinian Leaders can he do business with, it will end with Palestinian Leaders who are more supportive of violence. You have to have perspective here. Well keep an eye on it all day. Thank you for the analysis. Over to chris. President obama has ordered a comprehensive review of u. S. Hostage policy after isis executed another american. Cot longtime policy banning paying ransom to terrorists be on the table . More likely and welcome would be a change in how the u. S. Treats hostages family members with this on the agenda, lets go to cnns joe johns live at the white house with details. The review is going to look at family engagement, intelligence collection, diplomatic engagement. The president ordered the review over the summer. And a review was very much needed. Because so many families were finding themselves caught in the middle. Between what the government was telling them. Sometimes conflicting messages. And their concerns for their loved ones, who are being held. All of this was disclosed in an exchange of letters between congressman Duncan Hunter of california, and people who work for the government, the National Security council did finally confirm that a review was under way. But also said it could not disclose all of the things the federal government does to try to secure the release of these hostages. The big question of course is whether the government will change its policy on ransom payment. Thats a big problem, because when ransom gets paid, it only finances terrorist operations and in fact leads to even more kidnappings and more hostagetaking. A difficult situation for all the families. The question is how long will it take for the review to be completed. Thats just not clear right now. Chris, back to you. All right. Joe thank you very much. Well be following that, thats for sure. Alisyn. The latest american to be murdered by isis was peter kassig. His parents paid tribute to their son on monday, speaking publicly for the First Time Since he was confirmed dead over the weekend. Were live in indianapolis with more. We have heard ed and paula kassig speak out in the past. They hoped their words to help to spare their son. Peter kassig grew up in the United Methodist church here in indianapolis, the same church where his parents made a very brief statement. In it they talked about their son. An army ranger turned humanitarian aid worker. Taken while doing that aid work. Ed and paula kassig speaking about what they believe their sons legacy will be. One person makes a difference. Our hearts are battered, but they will mend. The world is broken, but it will be healed in the end. Ed and paula kassig went on to ask for privacy. They say they need some time to mourn. But that they also hope to one day be able to forgive and eventually to heal. They asked people to continue to pray for all of those being held against their will in syria. During their sons captivity, Abdul Rachman kassig converted to islam. They say he had started the conversion prior to being kidnapped. Their plans in indianapolis to hold a joint muslim and christian ceremony to honor his life. Their statement is so powerful. They were such pillars of strength during that statement. Were really an inspiration, thanks for showing us that theres more news with michaela. We begin with ferguson. We know its a community on edge. Missouri governor jay nixon declaring a state of emergency and calling in the National Guard. Before a grand jury decides whether to indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of Michael Brown. The fbi also warning of likely violence following an announcement. The grand jurys ruling could come any day. The senate poised to approve the construction of the controversial Keystone Pipeline. Louisiana senator mary land rue says the legislation has enough votes. Its taken on renewed interest since she fought her way into a runoff. The pipeline would run oil from canada to the gulf of mexico. The president remains skeptical on the project which still faces legal challenges. Breaking overnight, a small cargo plane crashing into a home near chicagos midway airport. Fire official says there were two elderly residents inside the house, but both were pulled out safely by a neighbor. The pilot reported engine problems just after takeoff and crashed while trying to return to the airport. Firefighters report after an initial search of the plane, theres no sign of the pilot. Interesting proposition here for new york city, considering the plan to replace more than 8,000 old pay phones, with hightech wifi hubs. If the link nyc measure is approved. It will often why why, nationwide phone calls and charging stations. My favorite thing. The mayor claims the plan will not cost taxpayer as penny, because ad revenues will cover expenses and because of course, chris, i know youre concerned about security, it will offer encrypted network connection. You dont want to begin on wifi and im worried about figuring out people how to steal the wifi, take the whole device and bring it somewhere else. Did anybody ever steal pay phones. Yes. Who did you hang out with in your youth . I didnt say i used to steal the pay phones. But people would take them. People take entire atms. When you say people their people, my people, people. I think it sounds like a winwin for the city. It will be interesting. So next year, theyre saying. I live with extreme chargeaphobia. How much for one minute . Wow. You guys have quite the issues. Im going to get you supper by the way. Meanwhile, the white house is taking a long, hard look at its policy concerns american hostages and efforts to free them from terrorists. Well get reaction from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle next. And authorities in ferguson, they are preparing for what . For war or for peace . Two minds on this, a state of emergency declared. Its got Peaceful Protesters very upset. All the while, the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting could come down any day. And we will take you there if anything happens right away.

Four israelis were killed, along with two palestinian attackers. It was done in a synagogue during prayers. Which was a really exacerbating thing here. It made it even worse for the people in that region. What does it tell us about the middle east . This is one major issue that the United States has to deal with and it will have to be dealt with on the congressional level. There are a lot of other issues as well. Lets bring in people from both sides of the aisle who have to try to find a way forward. Congressman peter welch democrat from vermont and congressman king. Representative king, when you hear it done in a synagogue. Theres been violations of religious time with violence during seders. Does this up the stakes . And what should the u. S. Position be . It does up the stakes. When you terrorize people where they worship, thats an extra assault on a people. The israelis do a good job of defending themselves generally and keep their streets fairly safe. If you there, even in the evenings youll see people Walking Around with weapons. The United States need to support israel. Theres an arab can live in israel proper with the rights of citizenship, own property, be seated on the Supreme Court for example or in the knesset. I think the israelis have been very tolerant and be being attacked by the other side. They needed the fence to protect themselves. I understand these were residents that got inside. I dont know enough at this point. Do you think theres a role for the u. S. , congressman welch, about trying to somehow modulate what is the heavyhanded response from israel . Or do you think they just stay out . Well, obviously the government has to be the one thats primarily in charge of maintaining the security for its own citizens. We would certainly have that response. We do have that responsibility here. But the United States is very involved. I mean weve been very engaged, obviously in supporting israel. But weve also been very much engaged in trying to promote a peace process. This is an appalling incident. Steve king is right about that, attacking people in their place of worship. Generally when that is done, it is essentially has as its goal, not just killing the people, but escalating the tensions to try to interfere with any possibility of making progress on peaceful negotiations. Almost guarantees more of the same. I hope im wrong, but almost guarantees it. Lets move on to a trickier situation for the u. S. Do you think the u. S. Should reconsider negotiating with terrorists, using ransoms. Do you think that would make a difference with animals like isis . I would say no. It wouldnt make a difference, if you negotiate, if you pay ransom. Youre going to get more hostages taken. There will be more kidnapping. It goes back into our history like 1798 when 20 of our budget went to pay pirates for hostages. I think they need to improve their coordination between agencies and do other things possible to help get the hostages free. Im afraid this is not the last beheading we will see. We need to take a much more aggressive approach towards isis. I want to arm the kurds, we going to have to defeat the caliphate. Thats our objective, we need to move forward on that. Representative welch, you think you need to change policy with how the state department deals with families. Consistently they come on tv and say they feel lost. Dos that have to change . It dentally does. What steve said, i agree with respect to hostages. We cant negotiate, we cant pay ransom. But number two, we do have to be as compassionate and as open and as accommodating to these families that find themselves in this incredibly tragic situation. And what, this is new for us. So youve had a bunch of different departments that have had their responsibilities and havent been trained to figure out how to deal with these families in enormous stress. Having this review and basically i think having coordination in probably a single point of contact that can give real answers in realtime as much as we know to these families will give them at least some solace the government hasnt forgotten them. Im discy with excitement that you two gentlemen are agreeing so much. The Keystone Pipeline, congressman king, give me the case for why this is good for america . I can think of no reason why it wouldnt be good for america. Theres a tremendous amount of oil up in the oil sands in northern alberta. The canadians have been negotiating with the chinese, theyre going to build a pipeline to the west, to the Pacific Ocean and put the heavy crude oil on tankers and ship it to china and refine it unless we build a pipeline through the United States to a refinery on the gulf coast. You can build pipelines safely all over this country. I may the only congressman who has ever built pipeline. Were not worried about polluting the ogalala aquifer through alaska. If you look at the safety of the other pipelines, theres been minimal environmental impact. Our technology is so much better. We can build this so its safe. It creates some 40,000 jobs, its an economic stimulus to our country and even if some of that oil or even all of that oil gets exported. The canadians have a chance to export it and we have a chance to keep it here and buy it. Congressman welch, youre smiling, but i would say its not in agreement. I dont agree. Heres, theres two issues, one is the oil. But the other is the process. And thats really what were talking about here. When you do have a major pipeline theres a process thats followed and essentially what congress has done is acted as a Planning Board with 535 of us, were acting so we can exempt this project from the standard review process. Secondly, were giving an earmark in effect to transcanada saying they unlike other companies, dont have to pay into a Mitigation Fund in the event there is an environmental spill. And then third, this is really about politics. Weve got a republican in the house who is running for u. S. Senate in louisiana weve got a democrat in the senate in louisiana running desperately for reelection and this is all about trying to give one or the other of them an edge up and thats not the wi we should be making a decision on a plaj pipelipip major pipeline thats going through environmentally sensitive areas. The president is expected to veto it and then well have the next round of discussion about whether it goes forward over the veto or not. Now congressman king, you came on the show and created controversy when you said families were worried about young girls they sent up here because they were preparing to be raped. It showed you had some sensitivity to the plight of the families. Do you think theres a chance that the republicans and the democratic brothers and sisters can get together and do something to help these families so the president doesnt have to use his executive order . Well if the president is never going to have to use his executive order, but i would say to the families that were upset about what i had to say about their vulnerability to rape. What i delivered was what i learned down there from caregivers, we should be upset. All of us should be upset about a circumstance where families would send their daughters up with a 30 to 70 chance of being sexually abused on the way. Thats appalling for me. I cant imagine doing that with say one of my granddaughters. But there is a chance that we can get together on some of this. The house passed a pretty good Border Security bill in august. That sits there yet. The senate could take that up during this lame duck session. Does it protect the families . It does, in this way. It sends people back instead of putting them into the custody of health and Human Services and everybody down on the border, democrats and republicans, hispanics and nonhispanics all said they will keep coming unless you send them back. And thats what must happen. We cannot have an open borders policy. Well empty out Central America and the United States is going to be buried. Under the burden of the social services that we so willingly provide. Final word, congressman welch on this issue . Well, i appreciated the tone of your question. Because it suggested both of us, both sides have the responsibility to try to address some of these major issues. Immigration is big deal in vermont. Weve got farm workers who are really essential to milking our cows. Weve got hightech folks that cant get h1 visas to provide skills we need and weve got all of these kids, many of whom were born here, when they were two years old. They want to go to college and they have to come out of the shadows. I appreciate the fact that the president is pressing the issue. We should, we should work on this and get it done. Well theres a lot of families at risk and you know what happens when you separate kids from their parents, its horrible. And those big employer who is are hiring all those people, you dont hear enough from you guys down there in d. C. About how youre going to go after them. But congressmans welch and king, good to have you on new day. Appreciate it. Missouris governor declaring a state of emergency, calling out the National Guard to keep the peace in ferguson when the grand jury decision on officer Darren Wilson comes in. So well go there live for you. And immigration hotbutton issue in washington. Will the president act by executive order or is there still room for some sort of compromise . Well debate that next. Dad,thank you mom for said this oftprotecting my future. You. Thank you for being my hero and my dad.

And israel condemning an attack at a jerusalem synagogue as terrorism. Four israelis killed, six others wounded. The two palestinian attackers were shot and killed by police. Hamas is applauding the attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu is promising a harsh response. Back at home, a virginia woman has been charged with lying to the feds about trying to connect a contact of hers with isis. Heather kaufman caught the eye of authorities after praising the terrorists on her facebook page. 29yearold was arrested when she promised to link up an undercover fbi agent with the group in syria and later told officials she had not done so. The charges against her could be upgraded. Federal Court Challenges have been filed against affirmative action policies at harvard, and the university of north carolina, chapel hill. Among the key allegations, harvard specifically limits the number of asianamericans it admits each year.

Im not going to lie to you, the next story makes me very squeamish. Former baseball slugger jose canseco shot off his finger last month. Had it reattached by doctors.

Too bad. So much for that christmas gift. We want to turn to ferguson, once again as the nation waits for a grand jury to decide whether or not to indict a Ferguson Police officer for the shooting death of Michael Brown. Missouris governor not taking any chances. Hes calling in the National Guard, as declaring a state of emergency just in case the officer is cleared and violence flares. A strong possibility according to the latest guidance from the fbi. We want to head to st. Louis now and bring in liz brown, she is a columnist for the st. Louis american. Weve had you with us on show before. Glad to speak to you again. Im curious about your reaction to the governors declaration of a state of emergency and calling in the National Guard. You see this as some people are couching it, as preemptive preparation or do you see this as a provocation . I think both of it. Both of them, but not necessarily from that perspective. Its a provocation, its an act of, its a provocation, because what it assumes it is by looking at the citizens actions that the citizens are being looked at as walking criminal acts. We have to skt question of whether or not its even legal for the governor to preemptively declare a state of emergency. There has to be a manmade disaster of major proportions. So what is the manmade disaster of major proportions that would allow a governor to declare a state of emergency . Because if we are going to declare an emergency based upon what we think people are going to do, lets start with nba playoffs. We know that theres rioting in the streets. We know there are actions that are lawless. So every time theres an nba playoff final lets declare a state of emergency. Interesting perspective. I want to play a little bit of sound from the player of st. Louis, describing the role of the guard saying theyre not going to be on the front lines. Take a listen and ill get your reaction. This would be from our standpoint, a secondary role. We would not have the guard on the front lines interacting with, dealing with, confronting protesters. They would be used for three different approaches. One would be visibility. Deterrence and then the other, early warnings. The concern last time when there were officers of the law there, there was concern that it gave the appearance of a militarized zone. Yet we hear the mayor talking about the fact that this would be more of a interaction, conversation, that they would be there as a visibility. Do you think theres a mixed message going on here . Did we lose liz . Liz, are you able to hear me any more . I think we may have lost our communication link with liz, shes not able to hear us now. We were hoping to shes back now . Liz, can you hear me now . All right. Unfortunately that we lost that because theres a lot of conversation going on, a lot of people are wondering with all this preparation, where are the calls for peace. You know the Community Leaders were quite vocal in ferguson over the summer and many people are wondering, are there people call for peace now as we prepare for this decision to be released. The man who runs the local paper and works the Community Pretty hard. We hope thats true. All these things go together. The state needs to prepare for whats going to happen there. They were not prepared the last time. So you just have to hope that but theres nuance in it, right . Michael browns family is calling for peace. So obviously we will watch what happen there is. Also, when will president obama use his executive authority to reform immigration . And when he does, will it go far enough or too far . Well skaus skdiscuss all of th democratic congressman Keith Ellison. And an australian anchor makes a point. This woman has to wear Something Different every day, not this cat.

The president warning hes willing to take executive action on immigration. Millions of undocumented immigrants could be granted amnesty in an effort the president says to keep familiar list together. But republicans call it overreach and an abuse of executive power. Lets bring in congressman Keith Ellison, a democrat from minnesota and the cochair for the congressional progressive caucus, good morning, congressman. We understand that you have strong feelings about what the president should do with immigration. Whats your suggestion . I think the president should use the authority he lawfully has to try to advance the ball on immigration reform. We support it from the progressive caucus standpoint. We think uniting families is important. We think that these are critical considerations. And the president should move forward. The republicans can put up a bill and we can vote on it. But they havent done that they refused to. So if they refuse to act, the president must act because the country needs it. Here is senator mike lee explaining that if the president does act, hes actually going against the will of the American People. Listen to this. He can listen to the American People, who have just spoken, just weeks after he said his policies will be on the ballot and one of those policies was in fact possible executive action on amnesty. He can list tonight American People, which i think would be good. Congressman, does senator lee have a point . The American People voted in republicans during the mid terms. Well, you know we had a 72year low in voter turnout, 36 of the American Public turned out to vote. I dont call that a mandate. What did senator lee say about the fact that in several states things that are progressive policies like increasing the minimum wage won and even though the democrats didnt. The fact is the electorate has a lot of complicated things it thinks. But the fact is that theres no mandate here. What there is is obstruction and stymieing from republicans and the president should forward for the better. Of the nation. Lets move on to ferguson, have you had discussions with officials in ferguson or the Congressional Black Caucus about how to provide leadership and preserve some calm there . Well you know, lacy clay, is the congressman who has been closest to this issue. Weve been consulting with them. We do urge calm. We want to uphold safety for everyone. But theres no doubt that these, these issues, when theres clear or it seems like theres substantial evidence that a citizen has been abused, mistreated, Excessive Force and the Justice System doesnt seem to deliver. Peoples emotions run high, but we urge people to be calm and seek out the constructive solution. The Ferguson Police says theres not substantial evidence that there was Excessive Force used. What will you say if the grand jury decides not to indict . Well i want to see what happens before i start predicting what im going to say. What im going to tell su having practiced law for 16 years, an indictment is really a tool of the prosecutor. If they want one, theyre going to get it. There is no hiding behind the grand jury here, what will happen is an expression of the will of the Law Enforcement authorities in that jurisdiction. Have you spoke ton president obama about the situation in ferguson . No, i have not. We had heard he had been meeting with some congressional leaders and he was considering what his reaction should be and if he should go there. I think its important for our criminal Justice System in the United States that the police have a duty to protect and serve the public. We cant have a situation where whole sections of the public feel that theyre overpoliced and underprotected. Theres numbers of situations all over the country where these sort of tensions have erupted and have caused a great deal of damage. Time to get to the root of the problem and promote justice for all americans. Including the mike browns of this world. One topic we wanted to talk to you about today. Is developing stories overnight. We understand the white house is reviewing its policy of how to deal when american hostages are taken overseas. Some hostages families feel that the government has actually threatened them, when theyve been trying to get their loved ones back however they can they feel that our u. S. Government has threatened them with prosecution and has been an impediment to them trying to do what they can do to protect their loved ones. How do you think the u. S. Government should handle this . Of course my compassion runs to the family. These are horrific barbaric acts of terrorism that have been committed against these three americans. But this issue is not so simple. Once you start paying ransoms, you make more americans target. Then these people like isis and others will capture people because they know theyre going to get paid. This is not a simple issue. You have the clear emotional needs of the family to protect their loved ones. And on the other side youve got a policy where if we start down this road, i believe we will regret it even more. I think its appropriate for the president to review the policy to try to see if we are pursuing the right policy. To see if it can be improved. At the end of the day, this is a very knotty subject pitting personal family needs against the general needs of the whole. So i do urge the president to review the policy, understanding that this is a very complicated issue. It sure is. Its a tough one. Congressman Keith Ellison, thank you so much for joining us. Cops say theyre doing it to keep you safe. But it appears innocent men are being stopped and frisked for no reason. Is stop and frisk part of the solution or part of the problem . Cnns new documentary film black and blue covers this. And Soledad Obrien is here to give you a preview. S pro. Maestro of project management. Baron of the buildout. You need a permit. To be this awesome. And you. Rent from national. Because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. And go. You can even take a fullsize or above, and still pay the midsize price. aaron purrrfect. vo meeeow, business pro. Meeeow. Go national. Go like a pro. In the country. We operate just like a city, and that takes a lot of energy. We use natural gas throughout the airport for heating the entire terminal, generating electricity onsite, and fueling hundreds of vehicles. Were very focused on reducing our environmental impact. And natural gas is a big part of that commitment. Helps you find a whole range of coverages. No one else gives you options like that. [voice echoing] no one at all no one at all no one. Wake up [gasp] oh you okay, buddy . I just had a dream that progressive had this thing called. The name your price tool. It isnt a dream, is it . Nope. Sorry you know that thing freaks me out. He can hear you. He didnt mean that, kevin. Kevin yes, he did keeping our competitors up at night. Now, thats progressive. From 2002 to mid 2013, new York City Police reported making nearly five million stops. I dont sleep until he comes home. Quite frankly. And i know he is not in cuffs or in anybodys morgue. The fact that it happens just about every single day . Is overwhelming and can lead you to lose your head. But then, your future ends. That was a clip from a new installment of cnns black in america series, Soledad Obrien. The new film black and blue takes us into lives of men frisked 100 times without cause and the police insist theyre doing it to fight crime. Soledad obrien joins us now. Great to see you soledad. Thats keyshawn, he said hes been stopped 100 times by the police. Often on his way to college classes. Often with his classmates and police and professors walking by and police have asked to open his backpack, and never once have they found anything, as a young man whos never been in any kind of legal trouble. And we thought it was a good example of how frustrating it is for many young men of color who are constantly stopped by the police in an effort to stop crime, but often arent doing anything wrong. And what that does for someones psyche. Of course, the nypd will said that crime rates have plummeted since they started the stop and frisk program. New york used to be a dangerous place in the 80s, your cars were constantly being broken into and drug crime. Its the broken windows theory, if you stop it before it happens, the crime rate comes down. The broken windows theory is if you take something to a broken window and react strongly to that, youre stopping a more serious crime from happening down the road. And theres many people who say that no real evidence that broken windows policing is working. Although, certainly the Police Commissioner thinks so and has actually upped his broken windows policing. But how would they explain the plummeting of the crime rate in new york if that theory doesnt work . Crime is plummeting everywhere, number one. And theres no indication that a massive number of stop and frisk, we mentioned 5 million that have netted 80 are black and latino people, in which most cases, 90 plus percent of the time, nothing was found. There were no charges, is no weapons, nothing that was found on that person. That means you have a whole bunch of people who have been stopped for no reason at all. And i look at the example of, if i were walking down the street in my neighborhood and police said to me, hey, come over here, i want to go through your handbag. The first time i might be upset. The tenth time, i would be furious. The 50th time would say, why are you targeting me . Im going to guess that doesnt happen in your neighborhood or my neighborhood. But it does happen in neighborhoods where police have been very strong about that. And your cameras captured another exchange between someone who was supposedly minding his business. Why would i say that . Were checking to see if somebody im just trying to see if my ride is coming. Go inside right now. Go inside. Whats were not even doing anything. Go up the stairs right now. Whats the backstory . A young man says hes hanging out outside waiting for his ride to come. His cousin lives in the building. Theyre waiting for the ride to come. The police come up, and the entire exchange goes on for a couple of minutes. The police are the only once are cursing, the young men never once use foul language. The police say, do you want me to put you in cuffs . Hes like, i cant understand, what do you mean . Do you want me to put you in handcuffs. And you see the incredible disrespect thats being shown to these guys who are literally standing there waiting for their ride. The policeman doesnt say, hey, you guys are blocking the door, would you mind going in. The question that were trying to answer in this documentary is one of balance. Where is the line . What do you do to keep communities safe, but at the same time, not trample on somebodys civil rights. Thats kind of a challenging question. We will look forward to watching your special tonight. It sounds like it will be extremely compelling. Soledad obrien, nice to see you. My pleasure. Thanks. You bet. We want to talk to you about breaking news.

Two palestinians stormed a synagogue and assaulted worshippers with axes and knives. Hamas is celebrating the attack and israelis Prime Minister is vowing a strong response. The deadly rampage left six others injured and the u. S. And israel are condemning the attack as terrors and tensions are spiking with fears growing of another flareup in this region, of course, agesold conflict. Ben wedeman is live for us in jerusalem. Ben, what do we know . Reporter what we know at this point is that the tensions are really focused on jerusalem itself, unlike the conflict this summer with gaza. And this is, as far as we can tell, the worst attack in jerusalem in six years. Breaking overnight, a deadly terror attack shattering the peace of Early Morning prayers inside a jerusalem synagogue. They used axes and knives to attack the people. Police say two palestinian men armed with knives, axes, and a handgun entered the building in an orthodox neighborhood in west jerusalem. This is simply has no place in human behavior. Reporter the assailants traveling from East Jerusalem, killing four israeli civilians and injuring six others, including two responding Police Officers. This video shows Israeli Police trying to enter the synagogue to stop the attackers, were then shot and killed by police. Israeli authorities calling this one of the deadliest terror attacks in the city in years. What you saw today is slaughter of innocent people, while theyre praying in a synagogue. If the world doesnt unite against terrorism and give zero excuses for terrorism, this will haunt the world. Reporter a spokesman for hamas, quickly praising what happened is justifiable revenge for the death of a palestinian bus driver found hanged in his bus sunday. But Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas condemned the attack. As did israeli Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, saying israel will respond with a heavy hand. His office posting on his official twitter account. This attack, the latest and most violent amid months of soaring tensions in the holy city, with a wave of attacks and kidnappings in recent weeks. Now, the question is, of course, what can the israeli authorities do to stop these attacks. Its important to keep in mind that most of the perpetrators are coming from East Jerusalem, which is under israeli control, security control. So its very difficult to stop these. And the authorities are pondering what possible measures. Now, i spoke to one israeli official who said they may go back to this whole system that goes back to the british mandate of house demolitions to try to deter any further attacks. Chris . Ben, ill take it. Its all so complicated. And also, the question of what a heavyhanded response will look like. Thanks so much. Lets go over to chris. As you can see, were switching guests there. Lets bring in aaron david miller, former adviser to six secretaries of state and Vice President for new initiatives and distinguished scholar for the Woodrow Wilson international center. Well have mickey rosenfeld, Foreign Press spokesman for the Israeli Police. Gentleman, thank you for joining us. Mickey, if can i start with you, you were at the scene. We understand the pictures are so grisly that we dont want to show them to the audience. But, please, give us a sense of what happened. What took place this morning, just after 7 00, a horrific terrorist attack that was carried out by two palestinians in East Jerusalem. They entered inside the synagogue, where there was many people praying peacefully, quietly, and calmly, the Morning Jewish prayers. They used knives and axes and fired a 9millimeter weapon at the people that were praying inside the synagogue. Immediately, our Police Officers were dispatched to the area. Seven and eight minutes just seven minutes after the attack was known to israeli Police Officers, the two terrorists were already engaged by Police Officers and shot and killed. The investigation is continuing, obviously, and with heightened security in jerusalem at the moment after this mornings terrorist attack. And weve also confirmed, right now, the funerals are, in fact, taking place in jerusalem. That four of the people, the rabbis that were killed, three of them were american dual citizens and one was an english dual citizen man. And in terms of why they used the weapons that they did, do you think this was just about convenience for the attackers . Or do you think it was to send an even more violent message . This was a sporadic attack that was carried out by two terrorists from East Jerusalem. Weve seen over the last 24 and 48 hours continuing encitement both by the palestinian authorities as well as the palestinian media, calling upon extremist mum l extremist muslims to carry out attacks in jerusalem. And unfortunately, we saw today the significant and terrible effects of that encitement on the ground level. People, rabbis that were worshiping, respectful people this morning that were killed innocently in jerusalem in a quiet neighborhood in north jerusalem. Micky, we understand your outrage and obviously thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were lost and the victims, regardless of where they come from, their lives should be respected. Aaron, let me bring you in on this. It is relevant on one level that they were dual citizens, because that means now the fbi will get involved. This brings us to an interesting point you made in one of your recent opeds, where you talk about what the u. S. Should have as a reasonable set of expectations about what it can control in places like the conflict between israel and palestine. What do you make of this . First of all, i think you have a new kind of terror, driven by a number of factors, which im afraid may well represent the wave of the future. One is proximity. If initial reports are true, one of the people who is responsible for this terror attack actually worked at Grocery Store adjacent or close to the synagogue. So that means that far from being a spontaneous act, this may well have been targeted. Not that this was somehow authorized by hamas, although encitement does play a role. And number two, its not unprecedented, but the reality is, im not sure there is much of a precedent for an attack against a local synagogue in jerusalem or in israel, generally. There are thousands of these throughout the country. And it took years for israelis to adjust themselves to putting armed guards at schools, shopping malls, and theaters. Now you have the risk of a much more serious escalation. And finally, you do have this proximity problem. These attacks are not coming from the west bank, theyre coming from palestinians in East Jerusalem, where israelis and palestinians mix on a daily basis. And if you add to that, mickys notion of encitement and israeli efforts to or at least the perception that israel is out to stage the status quo and no prospects of any political process, what you have is a really witchs brew, which im afraid is going to continue without much hope right now of resolution. Micky, let me get back to you one second. Do you believe theres any reason of suspicion that these particular rabbis were targeted by these men . Maybe because of their dual citizenships . No, part of the Ongoing Investigation is being asked to believe that the two suspects, the two terrorists worked on their own, that they planned the attack ahead of time. Were obviously looking to see if they were affiliated either with the hamas or the jihad or any other terrorist cell. But one aspect were looking into is how did they know their neighborhood, were they familiar with the area that they targeted at 7 00 in the morning, where they knew so many respectable people praying the early prays. The investigation is continuing at the moment. And heightened security both in and around north jerusalem neighborhoods as well as East Jerusalem neighborhoods, in order to prevent any further terrorist attacks from taking place. There were some disturbances in the neighborhood where the terrorists came from as well, where Police Quickly responded and made nine arrests. So there are tensions that are being felt. But unfortunately, after this sad and pretty much sickening attack this morning, heightened security will continue in all general Security Public places around jerusalem, the light railway, public train stations, and bus stops as long as necessary. Throughout the day, security measures are still being carried out, and lets just emphasize that there are six people in hospital, four in serious condition, including a Police Officer who is in Critical Condition at the moment. And thats an Important Note to make. We dont know how much life may be lost there. Micky, is it true that they may reinstitute the older policy of house demolition, as a way of clearing the area and securing it . And if so, how would that work . Well, whatever decision will be made by the government will be implemented by the minister of internal security and the Israeli National police if necessary for our units to be deployed in different israeli arab neighborhoods. That will be done immediately. Just over a week ago, we had big blockades that were set up in order to prevent those palestinian vehicles from driving into public areas, and that was very effective and very efficient, but lets not forget, just recently, they were removed as a gesture after last weaks friday prayers on the temple mount where things were relatively quiet. So heightened security will continue in jerusalem. Well, aaron, this is what leads you, this kind of back and forth of violence and just regrettable outcomes, leads you to describe the middle east as bad, which is an acronym for broken, angry, and dysfunctional. When you look at the future, whether its Israeli Palestinian relations or whats going on with many different nation states, what do you believe this is a reflection of . What i see, chris, sadly, is a region in the process of meltdown. Certainly in the arab and muslim world, thats true. In fact, you could make an argument that the three most consequential nations in this region right now are the three nonarabs. Israel, iran, and turkey, all are politically stable, all have tremendous economic potential, all have military power, with very competent intelligence services, and two of the three have close relations with the United States. As far as the arab world is concerned, though, im afraid that civil war, dysfunctional politics, the absence of gender equality, the absence of the accountability and transparency with exceptions in tunisia and perhaps kurdistan, i suspect you have a region in the end that will produce a series of outcomes, not solutions. The question for us, for the Obama Administration and for this president s successor is how can the United States really practically and realistically shape those outcomes in a way that is that can protect its own interests and perhaps reintroduce a measure of stability and political progress in this very broken, angry, and dysfunctional region. Well, the solution there remains evasive, but the problem is literally all around us and seen in very horrible fashion in what happened the jerusalem today. Micky, thank you very much for joining us. I know you have a lot of work to do. Im sorry to have to speak to you under these circumstances. Aaron, appreciate the perspective as always. Well be following on this story. There are a lot of headlines this morning. The governor of missouri declaring a state of emergency in ferguson even before a grand jury has decided whether or not to indict a Police Officer for the shooting death of mike brown. The fbi also warning of potential violence. Governor jay nixon says he does not want a repeat of the summer violence that has plagued the st. Louis suburbed. Breaking overnight, president obama has ordered a thorough review of the policy regarding american hostages, including how families are kept informed and how the government can secure their release. It comes following the deaths of three american hostages at the hands of isis, including former u. S. Soldier and humanitarian aid worker, peter kassig. Louisiana senator Mary Landrieu says the bill has enough support to pass. Democrats have been pushing the bill since the election when landrieu landed in a runoff for her seat. The house approved the pipeline last week. However, president obama has expressed skepticism. Promising new research from people looking to combat cholesterol problems.

Another woman is coming forward claiming bill cosby drugged and raped her when she was just a teenager. Well hear her story when she joins us live. And a state of emergency issued in ferguson. The government ready to keep the peace. But are those preparations making it more likely there will be violence when the grand jury makes its decision . Perspective from the ground, coming up. Assault keep coming out against bill cosby. Another woman stepping forward, saying the comedian drugged and raped her on two occasions. Joan tarshus was only 19 years old at the time. She says she never went to the police, but she says its important to go public now and joan joins us this morning. Good morning, joan. Good morning, alisyn. Tell us what you say bill cosby did to you when you were 19 years old. Well, briefly, i had met him for lunch with some friends up in his bungalow while he was shooting the bill cosby show, his first sitcom. And i was invited back by him a few times and on to the set and one day, he introduced me to sidney portier. He used to call me midget, because im 53, and he knew that i had written comedy for Godfrey Cambridge and asked me to stay after he was fished shooting and go up to bungalow and work on some comedy with him. And i thought, whoa, thats neat. Thats a good idea. And i told him i was working on a bit about earthquakes in los angeles. Yes. And then what happened when you got to his bungalow . So we went up to his suite, and he knew that i liked to drink bloody marys and he topped them off with a bit of beer, which he called a red eye. And i drank one of those and which he made for me. And the next thing i remember is being on his couch with him taking my clothes off. And feeling very drugged and very hazy. And so he took your clothes off and then he sexually assaulted you . No, first i said to him he was starting to, and i said, i have an infection i thought i was being clever. I said, if you have sex with me, your wife will no, shell catch my infection. And he very quickly made me give him oral sex instead, which was horrible. So, joan, that was in 1969. And why, why have you waited so long to tell people about it . Well, i was approached years ago by a tabloid who wanted to pay me money to give them my story, and it just wasnt the way to go. I just didnt know how to broadcast my story. Also, my parents were a lot younger, and i did not want them to know this. My parents are now in their 90s, so, yeah. And joan, why didnt you go to the authorities . Why didnt you go to the police . Who was going to believe me . Its he said she said. Bill cosby is mr. America. Hes mr. Hes the perfect father. Hes the perfect husband. His image is, you know, clearer and whiter than the whitest snow. Whos going to believe me . They think i was out for something. I didnt think id be believed. And in fact, joan, there has been backlash now against your accusations and against the other accusers who have come forward this week. Whoopi goldberg, a fellow comedian, talked about this just yesterday. Listen to what she had to say. Right. Half the police might have believed it or the hospital. Where you go dont you do a kit when someone has raped you, dont the police a rape kit is what its called. Isnt that the next step once you make an allegation . And one of the things of getting accused of a lot of stuff when youre famous does, it opens the door for everybody to come out and say, and me too, boss, me too. Its like a bugs bunny cartoon. So you have to really take a minute and follow the evidence. Basically, shes saying that maybe the police would have believed you. However, i dont think there were such kits in 1969. If there were, i was 19, i didnt think of it. I didnt know about it. I didnt think about going to the hospital. Never crossed my mind. The only thing that crossed my mind was i wanted to get out of there and get home. Yeah. Social media also is responding to these accusations against bill cosby. Let me read you some of the tweets that we have received. The first one said, no one would believe them before. Cosby is such a nice guy. He wouldnt do such a thing. Second says, they just want his money. The third says, leave this man alone. Its been tried and failed. Hes an icon. Thats all i have to say about that. Whats your response to people who say youre doing it because hes a celebrity, hes a target, you want money, those types of things . Well, i dont know how i would get any money. And if i could, i would do these interviews with a bag over my head, to be anonymous. And i dont want any money. If i wanted money, i would have spoken to the tabloids years ago, who did offer me money. And theres nothing for me to gain. I just want to join forces with my sisters who have, who have also been brave enough to admit this story. And i know hes an icon. I know it. Its like, but so is bill clinton. And since there is nothing for you to gain, as you say, why do you want to speak public apply about it now . Well, its been on my mind since 1969. And i wanted to give more credibility to the women that have come before me. Those are the real courageous ones. Im also hoping that perhaps more women will come out. I mean, i believe he was doing this from the time he was on i spy and im not sure whether he has stopped doing it. Hes a serial rapist. And i dont believe serial anythings quit what they do. I think they do it until the day they die, until they cant do it anymore. Bill cosby was on npr, on a radio show this weekend and he was asked about these accusations. Let me play for you that exchange. This question gives me no pleasure, mr. Cosby, but there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days. Youre shaking your head no. Im in the news business, i have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges . Shaking your head no. There are people who love you who might like to hear from you about this. I want to give you the chance. All right. Joan, how do you interpret his silence there when asked about it . I think its very wise on his part. I mean, he didnt want to be asked any further questions about it, and it was a very smart thing to do. And i think his lawyers response was the response of a lawyer whose client is guilty. His lawyer says,we were not going to dignify these old allegations with a response. Exactly. The word were not going to dignify them with a response, i have found out in my life, my experience, is said by somebody who is guilty. So joan, where do you want to see this go . How does this end . How it ends, if i had my druthers, people would believe it. They would not see him as mr. Jello anymore, mr. Huxtable, mr. Nice guy. They would realize that there is a compartment in this man thats very ill and needs to be helped. He needs treatment. He needs help. He needs to get well. Joan tarshis, we appreciate you coming on and sharing your story with us. Thanks for talking this morning. Thank you. Lets go back to chris. All right. So the National Guard is being called in as ferguson waits for a grand jurys decision in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Is the city taking the right steps to keep the peace . We have legal experts, weighing in. Everyone has questions about money. You know, i think about money kind of a lot. Moneys freedom. Moneys always on my mind. Credit cards. Mortgage. Debt. Its complicated. Its not easy. Im not a good budgeter. Unfortunately, im a spender. I would love to learn more about finances. So theres questions about the world that all of us have, especially about money and finance. The goal of khan academy and Better Money Habits and the partnership were doing with bank of america is to give people the tools they need to empower themselves. With a Favorite Book is nice.

We dont know exactly when, but soon. So the governor there, jay nixon, has declared a preemptive state of emergency. Nixon says he does not want a repeat of the ugliness we saw this summer. Peaceful protesters say authorities anticipation of violence may actually cause violence. Lets discuss the issues at play here. We have hln legal analyst and criminal defense attorney, mr. Joey jackson. Joey, always a pleasure. Good morning, chris. State of emergency sounds like something that it is not. It sounds like you are in crisis. What it really is, isnt it, is a way of just releasing the funds and having what you need, isnt it . It certainly could be construed that way. I guess the governor is doing something preemptive as opposed to waiting for what may happen, at least getting the troops marshaled up in anticipation of something happening. Is it a right decision . Is it a wrong decision . It remains to be seen. Hopefully, chris, i know people will have views to this. They do have view. People are very impassioned about this, one way or the other. So whatever happens, lets hope its peaceful and people enjoy their right to protest in the first amendment, in a democracy, in a way that doesnt impair the safety of others. Maybe the weather is a blessing, because it will keep outsiders and we covered it. There were people who werent from ferguson, anarchists or agitators, coming in and seeing it as an opportunity. Hopefully the people that are there have the right intentions. This speaks to larger issues. Thats why you have the fbi investigating, to see whether theres a systemic pattern in ferguson. Is that pattern something thats been emblazoned in them. Should it change in the future . Are there other localities and municipalities that are like this . And thats why you see across the country, people, right, not some with their views, but other localities, marching, et cetera, but no matter what anyone does, we expect and of course hope that its peaceful, that people share those passions, and share their views, but that businesses are not shut down and everybody sort of does the right thing here. Representative Keith Ellison out of minnesota was on the show today. And one of the things he discussed was ferguson. And he said something very interesting, somewhat casually in the interview. If a prosecutor wants an indictment, he gets one. A grand jury is a tool, you cant hide behind the grand jurors. If there is no indictment, thats the way the outcome was anticipated by the office. Do you agree with that . Its interesting, chris, how many times have we heard, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. Who said that . Our court of appeals person. But the reality is, as a grand jury, you really are at the sort of mercy of the prosecutor. What information they convey to you, how they convey it, how they tailor the presentation to you. So it is true that in general terms, the grand jury will indict. Why . Because its a wing of the prosecution. I think what the prosecutor is doing in this instance is presenting all the information to them, good, bad, or indifferent and letting them make the decision. We dont know that, though . We dont know what hes presenting . We have no idea. From what we read and from what we understand, and certainly, chris, from knowing that dr. Boddebo baden, who was hired by the family, hes present everything, but that never happens. They asked for it. In missouri, youre allowed to ask for things. And they asked for dr. Badens testimony. They werent denied it, but they werent initial ll lly suppliedy the prosecution. And a grand jury is an investigatory body. And theyll be instructed on the law and a grand jury as the right, if they want to request other information to get it. So lets just hope that theyve gotten all the information and they can make an educated, informed, and just decision, no matter what that decision is. And it does happen all the time, while the ham sandwich thing is true in large extent, prosecutors try to get indictments on guys all the time and dont. Well, generally speaking, if a prosecutor wants an indictment, theyll get an indictment. But it does happen. It does happen. There are those rare instances. And there are sentences where you have your client testify. In this grand jury, we understand that Darren Wilson testified and perhaps he did himself some justice when he did testify. We dont know. Thats a big qualifier also, right . Because usually, you dont joey does brilliant defense work. You wouldnt have your client go anywhere near a grand jury. But if one does go in there, it really does change the dynamic of what can happen. It certainly could. Remember, the grand jury, you tailor the information thats presented. And when the used goes and testifies, grand jurors many times have often questions. And if the accused does well and testify in a compelling fashion and they address the issues that the grand jurors have of them, then it certainly could convince the grand jury that, you know what, maybe we shouldnt indict here. And the normal rules dont apply in terms of protections for hearsay and different types of testimony that you will have with the judge, because its just the prosecutor. Exactly, right. But of course the allegation is here is the prosecutor the peoples attorney or is he working on behalf of the officer . Is that a fair criticism . Well, it could be fair, but we should reserve judgment, only because, as we know, in the event that theres not an indictment, i think the prosecutor, mccullough had said, chris, that he will release and be transparent about everything presented. So i think society and everyone will have an opportunity to see what he presented, what he didnt present. What he instructed as a matter of law, and what he didnt instruct as a matter of law, it will be open for everybody else to see. And well examine it at that time exactly what he did in that grand jury. We know its not him, there are two assistants presenting the case on his behalf. What do you think about the timing of this . Theres been a lot of anticipation about this. People will blame the media, but the system is working with the anticipation of it also. This is not something thats just been kept on the down low, so to speak. Releasing it on the weekend, is that a smart move . Should they have the family come in and have them be an advocate for the correct response . Sure, i think families should always be involved in the process. And they havent here . And thats problematic. Every District Attorneys Office should reach out and let the family know, as a matter of courtesy, theres someone whos dead here, and that really hurts. And you want to keep your family included. And in this instance, the general public should be given some advance notice to when the indictment will be, because people are gearing up, theres anticipated protest, we know the National Guard issue is there. So if its on a weekend, maybe theres less traffic. Kids arent in school. Exactly. Children arent in school, and therefore off the street. So if people take this the wrong way and get antsy about it, no ones harmed or injured. Joey, always appreciate the perspective. Youve been weighing in online. Please continue to do so. The only thing ill say, remember, they are not deciding whether or not officer wilson committed a crime. They are just deciding whether or not there are significant questions of fact that theres probable cause to believe a crime was committed. Its a huge, huge distinction. A great point. Its a much lower bar. Well keep following it. Lets go with the five things you need to know for your new day. Number one, three israeli americans are among four People Killed in a barbaric attack on a jerusalem synagogue. The fbi is now launching an investigation. The u. S. And israel call it terrorism as hamas celebrates this atrocity. And as you just heard, the state of missouri declaring a state of emergency and calling on the National Guard in case officer wilson is cleared in the shooting death of Michael Brown. The 44yearold surgeon succumbed to ebola monday after being brought to nebraska. The brutal murders of three americans by isis prompting president obama to order a complete review of u. S.

Elizabeth taylor, marlon brando, groucho marks. Our next guest has spoken with all of them. Now dick cavett, one of the biggest, greatest talk show hosts of all time is documenting them along with some interesting and quirky personal anecdotes in a new book, brief encounters dick cavett is here with us. I thought you were naming your friends. I wish those would be friends i would relish. This is quite a collection. Why do it this way . And im glad you did, though. Somebody had noted that i had written enough New York Times blog columns for a previous book called talk show, and somebody else noted that i had another appropriate number to get out another book and hustle and go on peoples shows and pretend its not is that whats happening right now . All of these were originally in my times online column. People still dont know about online. Theyll say, i never see your articles in the times. And i say, thats on paper, im online. You had so many brief encounters, and all of them sound, you know, tantalizing, including meeting elizabeth taylor. You describe what it was like to see her in real life. Yeah, the myth about aura is and people who emanate something is often exaggerated, but in her case, Marlon Brandos case, and in other ways, great comedians case, you are in touch with something thats sort of like a mist about them. And taylors breath took your beauty away. Im sorry. I think that works also, by the way. I bet you there was something about her that literally could just drain you. Im afraid i stole that. He said, her breath would take your beauty away. Just now, it was accidental. People make a mistake when they say, oh, yeah, he interviewed all these celebrities. And thats great, but theyre professionals. You know, theyre so good at it. Really, the opposite is true. They can be some of the hardest, most difficult interviews in terms of process. Yes, they liked you, yes, they craved being on your show, you had a lot of juice. But when they would sit across from you, how would you prepare yourself for, oh, boy, this one looks like theyre having a bad day. Or these two are going to fight right in front of me. Well, having been a guest on talk shows, i had the advantage of having gone on merv and every time a cavett show was canceled, my fellow nebraskan, Johnny Carson would say, do you want to come on richard, and i would, and he would say, its going to be armed forces radio. We were great friends. But i know what you mean. You have to sit and gauge them. You have to think, this person is disturbed about something. My god, this is Katharine Hepburn and her cheek is twitching, shes nervous, i have to calm her down. And then we did. And then this memorable telesthn she did for me began to roll out. I think its just instinct. You can either make people comfortable or you cant. Apparently i could, and then they would say, i dont know how you got me to talk about that. And you still do. Thats one of the reasons you make such a great guest when you come to visit us. I think its also really Something Else that you, not only made those things happen, you made some of these moments happen, you facilitated them, right . Youre right well, you did. You allowed for some of this genius to sort of unfold. Would this be an example of what youre talking about . Yes, exactly, right now. Betty davis, it was going great, she looked great, full show, i said, betty, youre famous for not liking this kind of thing, and she said, but youre a gentleman, richard, and i know im in good things. So what could i do but say, so howd you lose your virginity . No . Yeah, you can see that. Ill show it to you. Oh, wait a minute, you must have lost your dvd box of ive still been waiting on that. Thats been promised every time youre on the show. Oh, what a cad you are. Thats not exactly a cad, is it . Mel brooks calls your new book the best bathroom reading ive ever written. Each story takes just the right amount of time. I asked mel for a blurb, and that perfect blurb came back. I wish i had thought of it to use for other peoples books. And good reading, by the way, you get the part. And on the front side, jimmy fallon does the introto the book, tell us about that relationship. Which, of course had nothing to do with the time, but starts a whole new life in talk show and family and whatever, took the time to write a wonderful foreword. Its a really beautiful foreword. Yeah. That kid is going to go places. Hes got talent. Thats exactly right. Also makes a great point. He respects who came before him and how. And its one of the things that sets him apart. And your ability to see the business for what it is today is just as sharp as ever. You actually, what was it, a year in advance of letterman leaving, you said, i think colbert will be the guy who replaces him. Apparently, i did, yeah. Do you recall saying it . I recall thinking it, but forgot i had said it. Happens to me all the time. Why him . Why did you say that . Because theres a life outside of these cameras. Tell us. I could see how bloody smart he was and how intelligent and vast knowledge, beautifully educated, great guy. And to see all of him rather than that character that he has managed to continue years after people said, thats a bum career decision, two weeks, tops, whos going to sit and watch a guy be somebody else, and he said, well, i wrote a thing in vanity fair about him after meeting him first, and he said, its awkward and difficult to think, heres what my reaction to what this guy is saying is, but i have to do another reaction to it, hoping to get some of his in. I hope this book will have one quote. The other one, same size, talk show, no matter how many funny things i felt i said, one was always cited about sarah palin. She seems to have no first language. You cad you cad. Thats a proper use of it. Hey, the crew can laugh. The book is called brief encounters. Really a delight to have you here with us. Thank you. Youve got a job flanked by women.
