Ferguson last night. Weve seen their numbers go down dramatically since those monday violent protests. We have been talking to people out here about some of the destruction they see around them. You come home to the only thing that you feel is yours and you cant come to it. Its its a strapg feeling. Strange feeling to come to your neighborhood and you cant even enter in. They have no right to tear these businesses up. They had nothing to do with the verdict. I understand the frustration, but to burn down businesses that people have worked to open up, its ridiculous. Reporter this Cell Phone Store behind me is one of the first buildings that was looted. They are up and back running, but for a lot of these store owners in ferguson, its going to be a tough decision. Many of them were hit hard back in august. They have to decide if they will rebuild for a second time in just four months. Life from ferguson, thank you. Ferguson protests have been fanning out across the country. As you can see, protestors last night, they were arrested over night as Portland Police say those arrests came after demonstrators laid down in the street and refused to move. Reverend Jesse Jackson was there. He called the officers resignation a quote, step in the right direction. A u. S. Couple now fighting for their freedom and to see their two sons again. They were found guilty of child endangerment nearly a year ago following the death of their adopted daughter. They were sentenced to three years in prison in march. They have since been cleared of the charges, but reportedly barred from leaving the gulf nation. Fighting the islamic terrorists on two fronts. Gents the taliban in afghanistan and the Islamic State. They stormed a compound killing two and taking seven hostage. The British Embassy worker has died. This as the u. S. Has launched new air strikes against isis itself. There have been as many as 30 new attacks. What do the increased bombings mean and can we turn back the tide of radical jihad. We have a former United States ambassador to the United Nations and fox news contributor. Ambassador, what is do you think the significant of the taliban strategy of attacking foreigners there to help . I think it demonstrates they have no use for the west, for what these people represent. And i think theyre attacking to demonstrate that despite the signing of status of forces agreement, they are not impressed and they still believe that the u. S. And other Coalition Partners may in fact withdraw. So i think these are not just acts of terrorism, but acts of intim documentation, both against other foreigners. But also against the Afghan Government to tell them, your days are numbered. Wasnt that agreement supposed to help in the wake of karzais leaving . I think that the taliban believed that essentially whats going to happen is that president obama wants to declare victory and get out. And despite the extension for one more year and even despite the change in the rulings of engageme engagement. The president s policy remains to withdraw. And theyre going to help that along by demonstrating their reach in the heavily defended capitol weve set up. Heres what the Washington Post says today, the dramatic increase in violence arguably the most heavily defended city in the nation indicates the resill yans of the taliban. The annual fighting season nears an end and snow covered mountain areas, the capitol has become the new focal point of conflict. Is this going to get worse . I think it is. The likelihood of american withdrawal only encourages the taliban. Theyre showing our influence has diminished trying to create a feeling of inevidentbility the taliban will take over. That has an important effect. Because most people who dont want to be bothered one way or the other want to end up with the winner. Do you think it is inevitable as you say that the taliban will eventually take over kabul . I think its only a matter of time. We werent there we shouldnt have been there to build u7 the Afghan Government. Our objective was to destroy the taliban. We have given that objective up. Just like we pulled out of iraq in 2011. When the tide begins to recede, the opponents take advantage of it. And were seeing that happening now with the Islamic State and isis. Which brings to mind Something Else thats happening, with the attacks on the foreigners and the horrible beheadings. Peter kassig, david haines, why do you think they go after those who come to help . These are people who are on a humanitarian mission. Theyre there to help the people, yet these Terrorists Attack them. Is it that they dont have any feeling of humanitarianism and just dont care . I think its part of the ideology. Theyre saying very clearly, we dont want help from the west, we dont want help from nonmuslims. And while we consider it blood thirsty and bar bar ik, i think isis understands this is increasing their reach, their power, their influence. They wont send their people into places like that, thus reducing the nourm of observers as to what isis is doing. Many wont stand up. Its a brutal, but very effective way for isis to contain to consolidate its control. It is so sad and it continues. Always good to see you every sunday. Thank you, eric. Well, a new report revealing the u. S. Flying roughly 85 of the air strike against isis in iraq and syria. Thats compared to around 150 from ten other countries. A u. S. Mail tear official have released few specifics about the admissions. Including information about the accuracy of the strikes. Meanwhile, in washington, congress is set to reconvene tomorrow. Theyre in session for just eight days. On the top of the priority list is avoiding a Government Shutdown when a temporary funding measure expires ten days from now. Hi, peter. Youre right. Congress has a lot to do in the next two weeks. At the top of the list is figuring out how to fund the government with a spending bill worth more than a trillion dollars. If they cannot pass that spending bill, the fwovt will shut down again. Right now, all authorization for spending expires on december 11th. And i dont think its good for the congress, its good trt republican party, or good for the people to be bogged down in an endless budget debate from now until next year. They must also soon decide whether or not they want to give president obama the extra money hes asking for to fight ebola, to combat isis in iraq, and to take care of unaccompanied minors who cross the border this year. Democratic senators are hoping lawmakers take the issue of immigration head on. The Congress Needs to act. Instead of wringing their hands about the president ial action, Congress Needs to pass a bill. We have a bill thats been on the table for a year and a half in the house. If the speaker would put it on the floor, it would actually pass and we would deal with this issue in a comprehensive way. Were already almost there with a comprehensive immigration reform. All we have to do is pass it. There are also fights ahead about whether or not expired tax breaks should be renewed as a president ial veto looms large. He wants to make sure they dont unfairly favor corporations over working familys. A lot on their plate. Well, the United States secretary of defense stepping down after less than two years in the office. Now the question is, who will replace him and what does it mean for our fight against isis .

The white house now considering its options for replacing departing secretary of defense chuck hagel. Who are the front runners to get the post . Joining us now is joe huff of nevada. Thank you so much for joiping us. Good morning. So who do you think should be the next secretary of defense. I know thats a loaded question. There are certainly many qualified candidates being discussed. I think the bigger issue is not so much who it will be, but how the white house will employ that section secretary of defense. Weve heard them all talk about the micro management of the department of defense, so its not going to necessarily be that, but how the administration will use that next secretary of defense to address the challenges we face. And you released a statement regarding hagels resignation. In that, you said in part that there are certain opinions that are not welcomed by this white house. Talk to us a little bit more about the problems that that causes. Certainly when you have somebody like chuck hagel as the secretary of defense whose job it is to make sure the men and women who serve this nation have the resources they need and the support they need, when you have an administration that then is talking about taking certain types of maneuvers or options off the table as we go to war in other parts of the world, it certainly sends a conflicting message to our adversaries. It was clear he had concerns about some of the messages put forward by this administration. Can you talk more specifically about some of those maneuvers that perhaps you or others disagree with, specifically when it comes to isis and iraq and syria. You never want to let your adversaries know what you will or will not entertain when it comes to military action. By coming out and saying in the beginning that we will not put Ground Forces into iraq and syria i think delta blow to our credibility thought the region. So how confident are you that a new secretary of defense will not just be a spokesperson for the white house and the administration and what they want to do . Well, certainly if past experience is any guide, i have low level of opt minimum. Weve seen three secretary of defenses all of who have serious concerns and reservations about the strategy that the administration was taking around the globe as far as our Defense Department was concerned. So unless theres a fundamental change within the administration, i dont think the next secretary of defense will be successful either. Do you think there was some specific reason behind the timing of it all . I think in part due to the president s party in the last midterm elections there was going to need to be an appearance of there being some type of change. It seemed secretary hagel was the guy used as a scrape goat. There really is no change in strategy or change in outlook. Theres just a change in personnel. And a change in spending with the 3. 2 billion in additional funding requested. There has been a request coming from the administration for increased activity and increased costs associated with iraq and syria. I think again its difficult when you have a change in the lead person whose job it is to come congress and sells the need for that increased funding. Were going to be starting all over again. Thank you so much for giving us more insight on whats happening behind the scenes there. Thank you. Were now learning that black friday shoppers did not spend as much as last year. But you know, they still spent 9. 1 billion across the country. They say some of the reasons behind the decline include the earlier start to the shopping season. Thanksgiving day sales did cause a jump they say that nearly made up the difference. There were 24 days, 11 hours and like maybe 32 minutes left before christmas. Down to the last minute.
