Martha the u. S. Economy growing at its fastest pace in two years. A 4. 6 , thats a healthy number. The gdp started off down 2. 1 . So a bit after rollercoaster for gdp.

A ground stop at Chicagos Ohare International airport and Midway Airport after a fire at an air Traffic Control area. 20 people pulled from the building. Another man was reportedly found in the basement where that fire apparently started. The fire we are told is under control. No word on the cause of this fire. Well continue to stay on it. But as of right now nothing is taking off for landing from those airports. The faa is investigating the matter and well continue with this breaking news when we get more. Do you believe hes stepping down for reasons that are not political . That hes just had enough . No, he does everything for political reasons. He often describes himself as an activists. Admits he wears two hats, within of them political and announcing before the election hes turning back. But no chance he will be replaced before the election is a political event like the attorney general has done. Very clearly he wanted to get out in front of it before the election. Bill holder stepping down. 6 years on the job, still facing contempt of congress charges. Tucker carlson, editor of the daily caller, welcome to you. You said earlier not only was he the most political a. The g. Ever. One of his chief advisers was al sharpton. It was obvious the direction they were going the beginning when they refused to do anything about the obvious voter intimidation by the black panther party. If any other group did that the full wing of the federal government would have come down on him. He said racism is the biggest problem america faces. Thats not americas biggest problem in 2014. Its reflected in his approval numbers. But also its a betrayal of the basic promise of the Obama Administration. You may not agree with his politics. But many people felt in 2008 he was going atone. But Race Relations have gotten worse. Thats not all the holders fault. Hes a reflection of the divide between black and white. Bill do you think hes set a precedent for what an a. G. Does . Al sharp town is one of his key advisers. Somew someone said al sharpton will be one of the key advisers guiding government policy. It is actually true. Its a fact, everyone admits it. Nothing reveals more about the tone and tenor of the Justice Department other than that. Bill democrats say he did more to advance the president s agenda than anyone else in his cabinet. Is that the job of the a. G. . Of course not. And it tells you what the president s agenda really is and thats a complete perversion of the point of an attorney general in the first place. Holders tenure has undermined peoples belief in the objective application of the rule of law. Thats the most sacred thing we have. Its more important than democracy or any other civic fact of the United States. The blind application of the rule of law. Thats our gift to the world. When you start to dilute that and under mine it, you are playing with fire. Bill what happened to the contempt of congress charge . Nothing. I think it conveys to the next attorney general. It doesnt follow holder run Something Foundation and possibly getting tea pointed to the supreme court, well see. Bill early on there was speculation you have got to do it now in case you lose the senate. What is your view on that, tucker . Im with the chairman. You never lose money betting for the political motivations of eric holder. But i dont know what it is in this case. Bill we are going to monitor his speech at a black caucus event. Tucker carlson. Well catch you saturday morning. Fox and friends weekend. He will be there. Martha police leaving no stone unturned in the hunt for a suspect two weeks after the man allegedly ambushed two state troopers, killing one of them. But are they getting closer to him now . Bill an officer facing serious charge after opening fire behind an unarmed driver. The incredible story behind the dashcam camera. Get back into your car. Will that be all, sir . Thank you.

Reliably fast internet starts at 89. 95 a month. Comcast business. Built for business. Bill there are new developments in the ray rice investigation.

The nfl says no one at the league saw it until it was rethreesd tmz earlier this month. Martha police are stepping up efforts to find the suspect who killed a Pennsylvania State trooper and injured another. Police are facing unique challenges in this case, are they not . Reporter the landscape is wild and they have come across several bears and had to kick them out of caves. There are now more than 1,000 officers and federal agents whos operation. Pennsylvania state police getting assistance from neighboring states and several fbi officers. The atf and other agencies also involved. Locksmiths have been called in to open doors as teams check cabins and sheds. We can tell you there are investigators. The inn at buckville falls is a 400room hotel. They believe frien used to go there. Martha people are trying to make money off this operation . Reporter someone has been calling saying they are representatives of state police and they are trying to raise money to fund this search. The police say its a scam. They say they do not and will not call to solicit fund. Trooper alec douglas wounded in this shooting. Hes in the hospital. Hes slowly improving and getting lots of visitors. Corporal Brian Dickson was killed leaving behind a wife and two boys. Police say they will not give up. We are expecting a press conference later and well update on what we know. Martha rick, thank you very much. Critics accusing a School District of trying to white house American History. Is this all part of a union secret agenda. You look forward and you decide. Martha Prime Minister David Cameron calling on parliament to take swift action against isis. Will they join in the airstrikes against this terrorist groups . This is not the stuff of fantasy. Can this decadent, fruit topped pastry. With indulgent streusel crumble, be from. Fiber one. New fiber one streusel. Whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts who work with Portfolio Management experts thats when expertise happens. Mfs. Because there is no expertise without collaboration. Bill British Parliament scheduled to vote a few hours from now on whether to join the u. S. Led coalition against isis in iraq. This after the Prime Minister David Cameron made an impassioned plea for action against the terror group. Crucifixion, the gouge out of eyes, the use of rape as a weapon, the slaughtering of children. All of things belong to the dark ages. Its backed by billions of dollars and has captured an arsenal of the most modern weapons. Bill what happened in Parliament Today . A lot of passion back and forth. As you note. U. K. Prime minister David Cameron speak. One other quote from him, we dont have the walk on by option. Isis has declared war on us. He does pretty much have overwhelming support for the u. K. To join in airstrikes sense isis. Still this resolution cam ran and his party crafted has to be very specific. It says they will only target weapons in iraq and British Ground troops will not enter the fray. We would want to see a stable iraq an overtime a stable syria, too. We want to see isil degrade and destroyed as a serious terror force. But we should not expect this to happen quickly. The hallmarks of this campaign will be patience and persistence, not shock and awe. Reporter shock and awe, a clear reference to the iraq war that began in 2003. Outside of Parliament Today there was a small protest. But the latest polls we are seeing is strong support among the public for this measure. 57 of the brits were in favor of it. A british man was behead about it isis terrorists. Bill there were more arrests in london today, too. Martha you saw that passionate plea from Prime Minister David Cameron. Why dont we have the same back and forth we see in the u. K. Parliament so president obama can flesh out his ideas and respond to immediate questions to the rest of congress. Lets bring in the new director for the Tea Party News network. I listen to a lot of this this morning. The back and forth. David cameron was interrupted self times and had to get back up on his feet and respond to why he felt so strongly they should join us in these airstrikes in iraq. Scotty, why dont we have this from our own president in this country . Obviously its a different system. But its great to see that back and forth. Its fabulous to see it. Its great to see leadership actually happening. Hes following the protocol. Hes going first and getting approval, then getting involved. Unlike this president whom i think the president doesnt respect because congress doesnt respect him. Hes using honest lang wage. Hes saying whats happening on the ground. Something we rarely hear from the administration or his spokes people. Martha David Cameron is taking it to the streets of britain and hes making it about protecting the homeland in Great Britain which this president obama has not talked about. David cameron arrested 9 people in mosques in london they fear could be presenting a threat to their cities. Should our president be doing that kind of thing here . I disagree with you on this one. I think this president went out to the nation, he addressed the nation a couple of times about the threat of isis. Sadly we havent seen any action from congress. With that being said i think its honorable what David Cameron is doing. But the president made sure he got all the facts together first. And i think thats admirable. Martha as scotty points out, David Cameron does not mince words on this. He sayshis is islamic terrorism and its an ongoing threat we have to worry about. The president was careful to not call it islamic terrorism. If we dont recognize that in the streets and cities of our own cities at home are we putting our country at danger . Its not islamic terrorism because no religion would condone such hideous behaviors. Martha they are call themselves islamic. They do. I dont disagree with you on that. But there are folks who call themselves christians who blow up abortion clings and they are not either. We are talking about a group that has gone way, way, way too far and they are clearly extreme. You are going to bring in the christian as and abortion children nicks the same sentence as whats going on here. Martha you had your chance. The truth is when you look at this. This an organizing of whats happening in the middle east. David cameron is correct. They had their folks beheaded in their own streets. We are shown there has brandnew money recruit. People recruited. Here in the United States president obama fails to admit that and say we are going after them. But here is an interesting point. I want him to call them out. Arresting them. Lets arrest them. Actively go after and find hem in our communities. We have isis here. We know people are sending money over there. We are going to talk to mike mccaul of Homeland Security about the specific threats. There are reports specific people in boston and in other places across this country. Well talk about that coming up. I want to get your thoughts on one other topic. President obama has come under fire for mentioning a muslim cleric who was at at home of a muslim group that issued a fat a to kill americans. We must declare war on war so the outcome will be peace upon peace. Martha this person that was referenced is a person the state Department Also mentioned on social media and had to pull it down and apologize when they realized he had been connected to the Group Calling for the death of americans. How does that get into a president ial speech. We could focus on one line from the speech, but the point the president is trying to make is we need to find a peaceful resolution. Not all americans are extremists. With that being said for us to make this war against all muslims, its down right wrong. Nobody is suggesting that. Scotty, go ahead. This is a man that declared he wanted to kill americans a year ago. Knock this president does is by accident or mistake. We are paying a lot of money into the white house. This line should have been left off. It was confirmed last night. May dan kelly did a great interview. It was put in there to make some point. Leave his name out. The one he praises obama praises not all muslims are extremist. Martha the point is moot in the example that was used. How could it happen that the white house read that speech and said the state department had to pull down a tweet they said about this guy because hes so dangerous. I totally agree they shouldnt have used that particular cleric quote. But the point the president was trying to make was the larger arc of his speech is not all muslims are extremists. But those who have gone too far need to be decimated and destroyed. The president is clear on that point. I think we also have to be really alert to the threat that exists here at home which is something that has been somewhat down played by this administration. Well get new details from the chairman of the Homeland Security committee coming up in a little bit. Good to talk to you both. Bill how is this for a send off for eric jeeter in jack stadium. Left field. Here comes richardson. Richardson is safe. Derek jeter why his final game with a walkoff single. The shortstop afterwards, jeter fighting back the tears as his teammates go crazy. I was as you messed up. I wanted to thank everyone here. I said it time and time again. Thank you derek. For what . Im just trying to do my job. So thank you guys. He was great. He walked out to the shortstop and kneeled down one last time. Martha when he walked out to that spot and kneeled down and crossed himself. This is what we want, american professional athletes to be. To be humble and gracious and be thanking the fans. Saying its nothing i did. There is so much boasting and ego in professional sports. This gentleman represents a quality we want in all our kids. His family obviously really moved last night, and his teammates, too. A wonderful, wonderful night. Bill hes not enjoyed this long goodbye because all the attention is on him. A true gentleman last night. You stayed up late with your pops to watch it . Martha i did. They said he went into the dugout to cry because he didnt want to cry on the field and he had to pull himself together. Bill 19 minutes before the hour. Martha back to the more difficult news. Bombs and missiles rain from the sky falling on isil targets. Some are saying this campaign is not forceful enough. Are they right . Plus this. Bill thats the dash cam video that shows a routine traffic stop turn into a shootout. Well play the rest of it for you in a moment. In the nation. The safest feature in your car is you. Add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get 100 off for every year of safe driving. Which for you, shouldnt be a problem. Just another way we put members first because we dont have shareholders. Join the nation. Nationwide is on your side my treadmill started to dress i mibetter than i did. Uts, the problem was the pain. Hard to believe, but dr. Scholls active series insoles reduce shock by 40 and give you immediate pain relief from three sports injuries. Amazing now, im a believer. Girl and then when we earn they money we want to spend it with, guy we want to use it wisely. Girl with care. Guy what i appreciate about truecar is all the pricing information was right there. Girl truecar shows us how much well be saving, guy right. Girl and that feels good. Guaranteed savings , a hasslefree experience. Visit truecar. Com. Martha a South Carolina state trooper faces charges after a video showing him shooting an unarmed driver during a traffic stop. Take a look at this. Get down on the ground. What did i do . Are you hit . I been shot. I cant feel my leg. Why did you do that . You dove back first inside your car. We have the dash cam and they will go through that piece by piece. The officer was fired. Hes facing charges of assault and battery. His lawyer says his client feared for his life. The man was pulled over for not wearing his seat belt and hes expected to recover. 15 to 1 hours a day. Because we are only bombing at night. The idea is to take out targets of opportunity. What we need is 24 7 coverage if we are going to disrupt and disable and eventually destroy isis. You cant just do it with nighttime strikes. Bill are we fighting a part time war . Chuck nash, a fox news analyst. You disagree with the Lieutenant Colonel there, why . With all due respect, i think we have a different opinion on this. The United States right now and the gulf allies, what we are trying to do is have the iraqis and the kurds regain their territory in iraq while at the same time degrading the operations of the Islamic State inside syria. If we were to dont more, if we were to put 24 7 air coverage over there. It would have to be with the allowance of the assad regime. Part of the deal holding this coalition together is the assurance that we have given our allies when this is off assad goes. So if we do something that so totally weakens the pressure dpents assad regime, then the gulf allies are going to go in and thats not part of the deal. Bill that may be. Thats several layers here. But in the last 24 hours you had 10 airstrikes. You had 7 in iraq and three in syria. Whats that. What does that do . What we are doing is degrading their ability to refly their efforts in iraq and we are killing them in iraq so that it buys time for our Ground Forces which will be iraqi and kurd to get back up on the step and retake that land. So its constant pressure. No safe haven in syria and constant duress inside of iraq. Bill you are okay with the strategy so far. You are keeping them awake at night, and they have very Little Energy to fight during the next day. Thats exactly right. Bill where is the evidence we are killing terrorists . Are we really taking them out or are we just bombing barrages at 2 00 in the morning. There are some gulf allies who have people on the ground, intelligence and thats feeding the locations. We are hitting barracks and it will force them to disperse even more and thin out. As they do, remember they get up in the morning, their day job is to fight assad regime and obey the way, the i. S. Guys are fighting alnusra and some of the other rebel groups. Th they thin out too much they will become extremely vulnerable on the ground. We dont want any part of that in syria. We are degrading them and cutting off their money. Bill why does it now appear that there is a much Greater Coalition for fighting terrorists in iraq than it does in syria . Why does it look look iraq suddenly is the quoteunquote good war and syria is the bad war for these other countries . Because they are sunni. What they want to do is they want a peaceful conclusion to this because they realize the government in baghdad is very tightly coupled with tehran. What they are trying to do is say, look, the sunnis must have a part of this new iraq because if it doesnt and that splits into third, they will be fighting wars for generations over there, active hot wars where now they have a chance to bring it back down to a simmer. Martha hundreds of students walked out of their classrooms over a controversial curriculum change for a fourth day in a row. But is this actually a union behind these students walking out . Well tale you about that when we come back. 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all.

Martha students near denver walking out of classes as critics accuse lawmakers of trying to white wash American History. William lajeunesse is on it for us in los angeles. Reporter there are two stories here. This is about what is taught in American History but its also about politics and some believe kids are being manipulated by their union giving out information that they know to be untrue. The test we are talking about affects all students who take the advanced American History class. Its a College Board that oversees the s. A. T. The new republican majority on the Jefferson County school board claims the guidelines are bias and they emphasize the negatives while excluding the Founding Fathers and america in the cold war. The teachers disagree and they walked out and the students have taken up their fight. They are trying to rake history and make america look better. We need to learn about womens rights and slavery and world wars. There is plenty taken out. We need to learn from the past, not from the future. We need to learn from the past so we can make better decisions. Reporter the College Board at mitts that the new framework does incorrectly create some false impressions and they will reissue the guidelines nationwide. Martha thats a story people will be talking about as that gets worked out. Bill straight ahead why the fight to replace eric shoulder could be contentious. Martha how real is the threat against subways in the homeland. Well talk to the chairman of the Homeland Security committee. Ill have more awkward conversations than im equipped for, because im raising two girls on my own. Ill worry about the economy more than a few times before theyre grown. But its for them, so ive found a way. Who matters most to you says the most about you. At massmutual were owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. Ready to plan for your future . Well help you get there. . Martha a fire forces officials a call you a ground stop a the at chicagos ohare airport. People moving around the country will be affected by that. Attorney general eric holder announce his resignation after serving six years in the post. His detar parture setting up a wriewsing battle to confirm who will be next. Im martha maccallum. Bill im bill hemmer. Mr. Holder a big supporter of the president. The president praa long career in Public Service and how his efforts helped transform americas legal landscape. I watched Robert Kennedy prove during the Civil Rights Movement how the Justice Department knowledge be a force for all thats right. Bill ed henry is back at his post on the north lawn. You have got grass back beneath your feet. What do we make of the timing here . The timing is very fascinating. The president said this summer eric holder said he wanted to accept down after 6 perusing years. But whats fascinating is announcing it now ahead of the Midterm Elections suggests if the Senate Democrats lose control of that chamber, they change the rules so its only 51 votes to confirm eric holders successor. But allowing democratting senators to confirm holders successor would be an abuse of power which should not be not counnot becount enanced. It would be make it harder to get a successor named. Bill what about the his of potential candidates . Reporter you mention on the bumpin, robert f. Kennedy and the civil rights agenda. Amid thes over fast and furious and the irs. The bottom line is the list has some familiar names. People who were in the cabinet and close to the president. Duval patrick. Janet napolitano. Catherine rumbler. And kamala harris. He says hes consulting with the white house in pick hog the successor will be. Hes been a polarizing figure. Have you read the arizona law . I glanced eight. I have not read it. Its 10 pages. Its a lot short than the healthcare bill which was 2,000 pages. We produced 7,00 i dont want to hear about the 7,600. No, mr. Attorney general, you are not a good witness. A good witness answers the question asked. I read you what your department promised and its inadequate and i realize contempt is not a big deal to our attorney general but its important that we have proper oversight. You dont want to go there . I dont want to go there . No. Martha those are some of the greatest hits of some of the biggest moments, a lot of tension between eric holder and the republican house. What does this resignation mean . Democrats are preparing to lose the senate. Its coming as ed pointed out. I dont think the nomination of his replacement will be in anyway contentious. I think it will infuriate republicans. Harry reid blew up the rules, the Nuclear Option f how the president s nominations get confirmed. He only needs 51 votes. There will be plenty of democrats who are retiring or defeated. The president should have no trouble getting anybody through. Including somebody who is even more ideological than holder. Martha you are writing some interesting things today about the irs and the impact on the Midterm Elections. Its quite interesting. Reporter eric holders legacy as an attorney general and all of that is very interesting. And smart people will debate that for a long time. My interest of course relates to who wins and lose elections. When it comes to who wins and loses elections. The fact that eric holder has not more aggressively attacked the scandal at the irs. The fact that he slow walked that to the degree he has has been hugely consequential. I talked at people who are getting schawterred by democrats. Democrats are up by as much as a third in the overall spending. Big factor for these conservatives is their potential donors are thinking about allegations of corruption and targeting at the i. R. S. When they think about that, of all of the bad reputations to have, the best one may be that even if its undeserved, that your enemies should fare you because you will do anything to them. When you look at it that way, its a big victory for eric holder. Citizens united was something he was disgusted with and felt was a true injustice that he wanted to right. And president obama felt the same way about Citizens United as he expressed in his own state of the union address. I guess thats something they are going to feel gadabout that they froze out so many donors despite the fact he said he was unnerved by the irs situation and was determined to get to the bottom of it. It outrage calmed in fairly short order by the time he got to hang out with bill oreilly he said there was not even a smidgen of corruption and everything was okay. The reality for this administration is if you are willing to defy all the conventions of the way evening was done in washington before. Namely if an allegation of political corruption is leveled against essentially a Law Enforcement agency inside your administration, you are supposed to go bongers. You are supposed to fire everybody and prosecute and do everything you can less people say that you are crooked. They have slow walked this instead and the Chilling Effect of that slow walk is materially playing out in the form of tens of millions of dollars in spending gap in this electoral cycle. Bill we are awaiting a briefing from the pentagon to find out what has happened overnight between iraq and syria. The oil supply is still a target we are told. Airstrikes in iraq according to cent come have destroyed all tanks. We have been asking about the cost, how this will cost since the kind of aircraft the pentagon is using and bombs they are dropping cost so much. Rear admiral john kirby told reporters they dont have an updated figure but they estimate they are spending 7 mill to 10 mill a day. Thats the same figure they gave us for how much the air campaign over iraq was costing. The number has not risen since the airstrikes in syria have begun. So something doesnt quite add up. If you estimate the cost of tomahawk missiles. 47 were fired on the first fight night and each one costs 5 million to 10 million apiece. Bill tell us about thing capabilities we are deploying in syria. The u. S. Air force is using the deployment for the first time in combat of the f22 raptor. And fighter jet that has stealth capabilities at a price tag of 135 million apiece which has never been used for this kind of mission. This is video of the f22 dropping bombs in the syria on the first night of the airstrikes. Three airstrikes south of the area f16 jets were mostly flown by saudis and emerati pilots. Officials say bashar alassads air Defense Systems have remain passive. We expect to hear from defense secretary chuck hagel and Martin Dempsey at 1 15 p. M. Today. Martha iraq saying it uncovered a potential terrorist plot against a sunway system. But u. S. Intelligence Officials Say they have no idea where that comes from. Bill oreilly taking the white house to task calling them befuddled. Thats coming up in a few minutes. Reporter leftwing zealots will never admit the truth. Bill stunning footage of a hitandrun. It slams the car in reverse and hitting people in his path. You can see this individuals had no regard for anyones life. People were getting wedged, run over, opinioned. He just wanted to take off. Reporter the suspect did take off. He was charged with carjack, attempted murder and battery. Four people were injured and one of those said to be in serious condition. Martha the stepped up Police Presence in new york city over iraqi claims they uncovered an isis plot against u. S. Subjectways. Al bod the subways. He should have mentioned it publicly before he would tell the american government. You would think something as serious as this you wouldnt mention it to a bunch much reporters on a street corner. Martha congressman mccaul, chairman of the Homeland Security committee. Is there any credibility to this . Homeland security came out stating there is no specific threat out there. Its interesting the iraqi intelligence didnt share this threat if they had it. I will say that al qaeda and isis have always threatened transportation motors including aviation and the subway system. New york and new jersey met with counterterrorism officials in work. We ramped up security at our subway systems particularly with the u. S. Open and the United Nations dg being assembled in new york as we speak. Its always a concern. We need snore security at at subway systems but there is no specific threat to the sunway system. Martha i want to ask you the difference between protect can the homeland when it comes from the top. This is David Cameron earlier today. The threat of radicalization is already here. Young people left our country to fight with these extremists. We must take action at home but we must also have a comprehensive strategy to defeat these extremists abroad. This will and mission that take not just months but years. Believe we have to be prepared for that commitment. Martha in everything David Cameron says he puts at the center of it his motivation and reason is to protect the homeland. To protect people in agreement britain and insure their safety. To that end they have pulled passports from people they suspect of terrorist activity and have arrested between 911 people from mosques in london including choudry. After 9 11 it remind me of bush. David cameron sees a threat. They are closer to proximity to turkeyy where isis can come through than we are. Not to say its not an impact to us near the United States. I think we have a higher threshold in the United States. The nine cad ralls that were rolled. The nine persons were very outspoken in their rhetoric in support of what isis is doing. I think cameron is taking all precautions to protect the u. K. Which is much closer to the threat. I think we ought to be look at revoking passports a closer look at radicalization within the United States and how we can stop that. But we do have a Legal Standard with the higher threshold than the u. K. Has on this. Martha but we have seen in many sorts of criminal cases there is a way to bring someone in for questioning based on a lower charge or Something Else that can be found. I think of the group in minnesota, i think of the things we are hearing from some of the areas in boston as well. Are you confident we are on top much these groups, that we are watching them closely fan they need to be taken into custody and questioned that well be able to do that . Thats a question i asked a my briefings. Do we know who these individuals are particularly in syria and what are we doing about that . I believe we are monitoring them. But you dont know what you dont know. You dont know who unless the country already. There are web sites publicly available. As you know as an attorney, we cant an rest on that basis alone on speech. But providing Material Support is an allegation that we can arrest people on. As this threat as these strikes are happening so, too, the threats of the homeland. Because this idea retaliation. Isis issued a threat to the west european nations and also to the United States right as the strikes were occurring to strike americans. So i take that very seriously, and i think we need to be on a higher state of alert here. Martha thank you very much. Bill there is a warehouse up in flames near an expressway in a major u. S. City. Lark at that thing go. It has been two years since american pastor abadini was jailed in iran. Why will iran not release the pastor. Well speak to his wife about the fight to bring the father of her children pack home. He was taken to prison. Finally they say does daddy not love us anymore . Does daddy not love us . Female announcer save up to 35 on a huge selection of clearance mattresses. Get two years interestfree financing on tempurpedic. Sleep trains inventory Clearance Sale is on now your ticket to a better nights sleep bill today marks two years since american pastor Saeed Abedini was thrown into jail in iran because of his christian faith. Family and Supporters Holding a prayer vigil last night pleading for his safe return. The pastors wife is with me now along with jordan sekulow, with the American Center for law and justice. Where are we on this . Two years, 700plus days since you have seen your husband. Im sorry to say i dont think were too far. Theres been a lot of movement in terms of our secretary of state john kerry making some statements and president obama mentioning him at the prayer breakfast, but i dont think the decision has been made to use any leverage or any pressure or pressure iran to get him home other than statements. I havent seen a lot of activity that shows that we are planning on bringing him home. Bill yeah. Its so unbelievably frustrating, and you have spoken it is. Til. Bill to us for two years now. Jordan, why is there no progress . Why is there no movement on this . The Obama Administration has made it fairly clear that theyve prioritized the Nuclear Talks at the expense of people like this american pastor whos now two years in the prison in iran, tough medical conditions, tough physical conditions, is under a threat now from isis prisoners, irans got the same prison as him who want to kill him because hes an american. So this idea that were at the table with rapp now, bill with iran now, bill, and we never know when that could potentially end, this facetoface negotiation with the iranian regime. Maybe the United States its time just to say, you know, we will continue these negotiations, well continue sanctions relief after you send the americans home like saeed. Theres three total, and then get to the bottom of it instead of prioritizing a negotiation which could be ongoing for years. First get the americans home. Bill your husband wrote a letter to your 8yearold daughter. It reads in part this my dear, beloved daughter, i pray god will bring me back soon, but even if not, we will still sing together. I dont know how your daughters doing, but i know theres a lot of support behind you in this movement, and later tonight tell our viewers in all 50 states about this prayer vigil that will be held to bring your husband home. Oh, thats an emotional letter that, you know, i hope hes home and my kids were here at the white house last night singing hallelujah because of daddy wanting them to. Theres going to be prayer vigils all across the u. S. , over 600 cities, and other almost 40 over almost 40 countries today. Theres more information on saeedvigil. Com. Bill how you doing . Its been harold. Its been difficult. You know, i cant stop fighting for him, but ive felt weary and who were as a single mom, and my kids are really suffering. I hope we dont have to do another anniversary. I hope we can get him home soon. Bill he was building a governmentapproved orphanage. My best to you and your chirp. Thank you. Bill jordan sekulow, thank you for your time as well and good luck tonight with that vigil. Thank you. Bill thank you. Martha speaking of that, faith, family and freedom. The values voter summit is underway today theres an interesting shot from it this morning, some big name speakers, were going to take you there live. Bill also bill oreillys on deck, why he thinks the world is falling apart and what needs to happen now. In case you havent noticed, the entire world is a mess. Thats because theres little leadership in the west, and the bad guys know it. Washington doesnt reverse things soon, something catastrophic is likely to happen. [ male announcer ] west didnt end where columbus landed. Not on the banks of the mississippi, or even the coast of california. The new ram 1500 ecodiesel. With 9,200 pounds of towing and 28 highway miles per gallon. West will never end. Guts. Glory. Ram. In case you havent noticed, the entire world is a mess. Thats because theres little leadership in the west, and the bad guys know it. Putin, china, the jihadists all ramping things up. Sadly, president obama seemed befuddled by it all. The leftwing zealot toes will never admit the truth that his leadership has thrown the planet into chaos. Bill oreilly last night, laying a lot of the blame for the worlds problems squarely on the shoulders of president obama. Bill joins me now live, also the author of the new book, killing patton. Its another bestseller in two days already. Live in americas newsroom. How you doing . All right, hemmer. Thanks for having he in. Bill back that up. The planets in chaos, its obamas fault. I dont know if its obamas fault if thats totally, 100 accurate. Theres a lot of things involved in the abdi base of abdication of american leadership. The American People are at fault. The man did not disguise his philosophy that we should be one of many nations, among the world nations. Not the leader of the world, we should be in the mix with portugal and angola and indonesia. He wasnt shy about that. He went and said bill and you said that last night. Among the nations of the world, not the leader. Right. Bill whats the effect of that . Well, but i want to get back to the American People heard that and still voted for barack obama. And i hope we have all learned a lesson. Bill do you think they truly heard it . I dont know. Theres a lot bill the way you heard it . No, they probably dont pay attention. The overall philosophy of barack obama was a very soft, liberal philosophy, and everybody had to know that when they put the lever for him. But, look, the unintended consequence of having a country like the United States abdicate leadership is its a freefire zone everywhere now. Nobody fears us. Nobody fears us. And theyre going to do what they want to do. Rapps going to develop the nuclear weapon, putins going to seize crimea and as much territory as he can, the jihadists are going to behead people on camera. Why . Because they dont feel anythings going to be done to them. Bill there were ten strikes between iraq and syria overnight in the last 24 hours that we can chart. Seven in iraq and three in syria. Okay. Bill youve got a Midterm Election 39someodd days away. Right. Bill do you think these elections are having an impact on his Decision Making as he goes after isis in iraq or syria or both now . Certainly. The democratic leadership has told the president , and i know this to be true, that youre going to have to be a tough guy at least for three months because we cant raise any money. See, that was the problem. The democratic partys having trouble raising money. Because people are getting disenchanted. And also the president s personal poll numbers, job approval polling below 40 . So he knew that he had to do manager. He didnt hes not a wartime president. Bill doesnt really want that. He doesnt have it. Bill i think that New York Times poll from ten days ago that talked about National Defense could have been a motivating factor because you had not seen numbers like that. Right. But thats whey down. Bill 2002. Way down on his priority list. Bill but perhaps my argument is not necessarily his priority list overall, but maybe it is for the next six weeks because youre facing an election. I think thats obvious, that hes going to have to avenge the beheadings of the american citizens that we all were horrified by. Thats what this is all about, this bombing. Now, is it going to degrade, as they say, isis . A little bit. Sets them back somewhat. But unless he follows up with a concerted plan to defeat the jihad not just isis its just going to be whackamole. Bill some would argue youve got to be 24 7 right now. Captain nash said last hour he agrees with the strategy so far, he thinks itll work. Oliver north has a much different view of that. Now to you and your new book, killing patton. Its a pretty good one. Pretty good . Bill heres what i want to say, as a catholic, i think this is a risk here. I like it more than i like killing jesus. Can i say that . Listen, is there lightning coming through . Bill not yet. Whyd you write it . Patton is a leader i want people to know about because we need a general patton today, boy. I mentioned the 1930s, the world in crisis. A guy like patton was put in the front lines and performed magnificently. Yet, yet he made so many enemies that we believe, martin due guard and i, my coauthor, that he was murdered. He didnt die in an accident as the u. S. Army told the world and washington told the world. We lay out the evidence pretty compellingly at the end, but this is a big book about the last six months of the war in europe, how brutal it was, what you had to do to win. And we have lost that in america. We do not have the will to win anymore. We have the will to chat. We have the will to chat, not to win. Bill theres a lot of chattin s the street this week. Killing patton, good luck with it. This kind of works out, doesnt it, martha . 10 30 on a friday . Yeah, im thrilled. Bill right . Its before you tape your show. Martha absolutely. Bill maybe we could start a weekly thing. No. Bill oreilly martha i like that way. If book sales are good, ill be here every day. Martha thanks for volunteering. Martha all right, so the annual values voter summit is kicking off in washington, some potential president ial hopefuls on the list as you might expect, there is one, senator ted cruz up on the podium right now. Carl camerons there joining us from washington. Midterms are also coming up, as everybody, of course, has noticed. How is that playing out there today, carl . Reporter well, its beginning, obviously. This is a cattle call, president ial candidates looking at 2016 are going to be there, but we are less than six weeks from the midterms. With isis and the war on terror expanding all over the world, thats a big part of whats being talked about here, emphasis being protecting religious liberty, fighting intolerance, fighting islamic radicalism. The first potential candidate, ted cruz of texas, quotes from the bible a lot. Right after him were going to hear from kentucky senator rand paul who cruz has actually criticized on foreign policy, specifically related to isis. Later today another president ial likely candidate, louisiana governor bobby jindal. Both he and paul have warned the republicans and conservatives that they have to be more tolerant about immigrants and minorities, women, gays and lesbians and young people. This values voter summit in addition to all the emphasis on religious tolerance amounts to kind of a defiant rebuttal on the right to the argument that its a war on women. They say that, in fact, traditional values are traditional values for women and what democrats are doing are waging a war on traditional values. Martha very interesting. Carl, thank you very much. Well see you later. Bill 21 before the hour. Al sharpton says he has a seat at the table to help the president choose the next attorney general, but should he be at the table . A part of that process . Fair and balanced debate takes that on in a moment. Martha and some i phone fans say that the new 6 plus comes with a feature they could do without. Why theyre getting bent out of shape about this thing, and is it real . You really can bend them . I dont know. Were going to talk about that when we come back. Bend me, shape me any way you want me. As long as you love me, its all right bill so apples responding to complaints that the new iphone 6 plus bends under pressure. The plus is the big one, right . Martha yes. Bill okay. Says its only gotten nine complaints out of millions sold. Similar claims have exploded over social media. Video of uniphone 6 plus one iphone 6 plus user bending it with his bare hands has gone viral. Apple says any kind of warping is, quote, extremely rare. There are no reports of bending in the regular iphone 6. Martha you can bend your i dont know if he actually bent it in that video, it looks like it was bent at the beginning. And from what im hearing, its extremely difficult to bend them. Not that i care either way. I dont have one. Bill thats right. Martha but maybe if youre the incredible hulk or something. Bill my old school iphone 4s doesnt bend. Martha yes. Bill doesnt bend. Martha the 4s bill you do . Martha i dont know how he did it. Bill apple, get on the line. Martha okay. The white house is searching for a new attorney general, have you heard . And now reverend al sharptop coming to the rescue sharpton coming to the rescue, claiming he will be helping pick the replacement. He said this, quote we are engaged in immediate conversations with the white house on deliberations over a successor whom we hope will continue in the general direction of attorney general holder. Juan williams is a fox news political analyst, and Mary Catherine hamm is editor at large at hot air. Com and a fox news contributor. Welcome to you both, good to have you here. Ooh, what a relief, juan, al sharpton to the rescue. Thank goodness. [laughter] everybody has a right to plug whatever position they want. Everybody lobbies in this town, especially when it comes to an influential position. But i dont have the sense hes at the table. I have more of the sense that hes trying to get his two cents in because he thinks its key for him, one to raise his profile and status, to be seen as somebody who could influence the selection of an attorney general. Martha yeah. But, you know, in the past hes also suggested that he has a very close ear to the white house, that hes in regular communication and that he is very influential, and i dont think they have really shot that down, have they, Mary Catherine . No. I think since about 2009 or 10 hes been written about and reported about as kind of a good soldier to the Obama Administration, a liaison to the black community who at times has told other black leaders who have been more critical to say, hey, give it some time, let them do their thing. We should allow, as juan says, for the fact that he may be pumping up his own involvement here, but i dont think its surprising that he would have a voice here and the other thing is i think having him involved perhaps six weeks before an election where they might be looking to get martha is that a positive thing, juan . You know, i mean i guess i remember all of these things, so me too. Martha that was greeted with skepticism, you know, and i dont think im alone on that. Is this something that you want to be involved in this process . Is this someone that, you know, people should look up to across this country and want to have the ear of the white house . Martha, you and i walk hand in hand when it comes to article sharpton. I just dont think martha thats just the beginning of the list, yeah. Right. But im going to say its not my choice, not your choice. I think that, in fact, the white house when it comes tobe the black community has made a choice they need somebody out there especially to appeal to the grassroots. They dont like jesse jackson, have a long history of acrimony there and the chicago relationship was even more, you know, anticipated. So they picked tainted. Theyve made al sharpton their goto guy for situations like ferguson, trayvon and all the rest. So that has boosted his reputation. When you ask me is it a good thing . I dont know, its politics. Martha i remember that great speech, i was in boston on the floor of the Democratic National convention, i remember we are not a white america, a black america, we are the United States of america, and i think a lot of people believed that when they watched that speech, and they expected some change. They expected somebody, frankly, not like al sharpton to have any sort of influence over this process. And it makes me wonder who they will choose next and what kind of mission and signal that will send, mary katherine, about, you know, devisiveness and about where they really want to go on these issues. Yeah. I think its lament bl. Its not good to have someone with, you know, freddie [inaudible] under his belt influencing this process, i dont think. It is not a signal that the head of doj if, indeed, he is involved in a deep way, is going to be an apolitical figure whos interested in civil rights alone. And theres also the other interesting question of a guy whos hosting a show and reporting on things like ferguson also leading protests in those places and this is another part of that ethical walk of the line. Martha one last thought, juan. Some of the people being considered, current solicitor general donald verrilli, mary jo white, you have attorneys out of your district in new york, you know, one of them a black woman. I guess theres another black person being considered, that would be deval patrick, but he says he doesnt want it. So if youre looking at it in racial terms, i think theres a gay woman out of washington state. Theres all that in there. But you know what . This is a pretty deep bench of qualified people. Verrilli, for example, the solicitor general, got 26 republican votes and 76 votes overall when he was confirmed. Martha all right. Thanks so much, you guys. Bill you have a 4 that bends . Martha yeah. Im going to show it to you. I dont know how it happened. Bill breaking news. Hey, you dont see this every day. Roll it here. That bill that is not trick photography. Those are dancers on the side of a building in oakland, california. They will tell you how they make it look so easy and how they miss the windows along the way. [laughter] martha pretty cool. Sorry. [laughter] bulldog [yawning] i cant wait to get to mattress discounters good and early for the tempurpedic bonus event. Choose 300 in free gifts, and, get up to 48 months interestfree financing with any tempurpedic mattress. Mattress discounters bill dancers taking their skills literally to new heights. Just watch this video here. Bill thats on the side of oakland city hall. I spoke to the two from the group about that. Amelia rudolphs and roal sievers, the companys dancer. How you guys doing . Very well, thank you. Bill thank you for your time. Whose idea was this, by the way . Well, as founder of the group about 20 years ago, as a dancer and i became a rock climber, went into the sierra mountains and rappeling off a cliff one day i wondered what it would be like to dance in place like that. Bill uhhuh. To bring dance out into nature. Bill so it was your idea. Youre the one i guess so, yep. Bill you roped roal into this. How do you guys practice . Yeah. He is not the only dancer, the companys about eight dancers and he is one of them, yep. Bill thats fascinating stuff. How do you practice, roal . On buildings. You need a building to practice. We do have a rehearsal space in hopingland, but we in oakland, but we do most of our work on buildings and thats where the real joy comes from, as yo saw in that video, when youre up off the ground, high on the side of a building. As you see in that video, the joy is just, its very real. What you saw there is what its like. Bill its Pretty Amazing stuff. I thought the camera was playing tricks with us in the beginning, amelia. Is it but its not. How high off the ground are you in this clip . In this video, which was part of the art and soul festival which is this fabulous 20yearrunning festival, that city hall, im going to say we were about a hundred feet off the ground, but we have performed at 2400 feet off the ground in yosemite and on some 400foot skyscrapers. That is a previous to building perfect building, actually, city hall in oakland. Bill you dont ever pop through that window, do you, roal . No, we dont pop through, were very delicate. Bill what are you trying to express about this art . I mean, i think what the Dance Company is about, we are celebrating the human spirit. Its bravery,ce, and were bringing dance to new audiences. We perform to thousands, tens of thousands of people, sometimes each year. And it takes dance out of a kind of a cloistered, elite place that it can be and brings it to the street. It brings it to the people, it makes it something everyone can participate in and celebrate Community Together and civic pride like you see here in oaklandful. Bill well, you got our attention. By the way, some really big buildings here in new york city. Just putting a couple ideas out there for the two of you. Yeah. Absolutely. Bill thank you for your time. Youre welcome. Bill that could be the next big project. Roal, amelia, thank you for your time. Youre welcome. Thank you. Bill amazing web site. The pictures are really stunning. Martha i think its great. Really cool stuff. So a longtime u. S. Ally is now debating whether to join the battle against isis. Were going to know very soon if the british are in this fight with us as Coalition Fighters fire off a new round of airstrikes in iraq and syria. Foghorn sounds loudly heres a good one seattle. What did geico say to the mariner . We could save you a boatload foghorn sounds loudly whats seattles favorite noise . The puget sound foghorn sounds loudly all right, never mind doesnt matter. This is a classic. What does an alien seamstress sew with . A space needle foghorn sounds loudly continuously oh come off it captain geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Martha an incredible find more than a century in the making, a time capsule that dates from 1901 hidden in the bronze lion head at the top of the old statehouse in boston. Crews found the capsule along with a bronze unicorn, now the challenge is to figure out how to get the box out without damaging the statue. Weve had those here in new york city, and theyre in the historical society. Its really cool. Bill well let you know whether or not they can pop the lions head off. [laughter] have a great weekend, right . Martha yep. Happening now starts right now. Bye, everybody. Jon and on this weekend a fox news alert about a travel nightmare in chicago, a fire at an faa radar center has grounded flights at ohare and Midway Airports. Police say the fire was deliberately set but, quote, is no terrorists act. Authorities say the fire was intentionally set by a contractor at the faa facility in what was believed to be a suicide attempt. More than 800 Flights Canceled between ohare and midway alone, that is going to reverberate across the country. The delays caused by this expected to have flights nationwide delayed, so if y
